What this event is

The Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting. The statement, the decision itself, and the chair’s press conference each move markets — often in different directions within the same afternoon.

Bitcoin has historically been sensitive to shifts in the expected path of rates and dollar liquidity. FOMC days are among the highest-volatility scheduled events on the crypto calendar.
