Bitcoin declined from local highs as traders reduced leverage ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting amid historical patterns of post-meeting volatility.Summary
Bitcoin retreated from $79,500 as market participants adopted a risk-off stance ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Historical data from 2025 shows a recurring pattern of corrections following interest rate decisions, often driven by shifts in liquidity and deleveraging rather than the policy outcome itself. While short-term volatility persists, institutional demand remains robust, evidenced by significant accumulation by Strategy and consistent inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, which are helping to establish structural support around the $70,000 level.
