Been tracking this pattern and it's pretty wild - Bitcoin has tanked within 48 hours after 7 out of 8 FOMC meetings in 2025, regardless of whether the Fed actually cut rates or held steady. So it's not really about what they decide, it's just the event itself that triggers the selloff.

Right now BTC is sitting around $71.7K after that recent rally, but with the next FOMC meeting coming up, I'm watching for that classic 'sell the news' move again. Markets are basically certain the Fed will hold rates, and we're only looking at maybe one 25 bps cut for the whole year. Meanwhile, oil's still near $100 and geopolitical stuff isn't helping inflation cool down, so the Fed probably won't be rushing to ease anyway.

The setup feels familiar - strong momentum going into the meeting, but historically that's when you see the pullback. Worth keeping an eye on when FOMC meets next and how the price reacts.
