Analysis: The Federal Reserve FOMC Meeting Week is typically accompanied by high Bitcoin volatility and downside risk

BlockBeats News, January 28th, Analyst Ali Charts posted an article stating that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the United States will hold its first interest rate meeting of 2026. The market's expectation of a rate cut in January is only 2.8%, and recent policy easing is unlikely. Looking back at the data from 2025, out of the eight FOMC meetings, Bitcoin experienced a significant pullback after seven meetings and a brief uptrend only once, with a 9% decline in Bitcoin price after the last meeting.

The analysis points out that FOMC interest rate weeks usually come with high Bitcoin volatility and downside risks. Even if the market remains optimistic before the meeting due to rate cut expectations, the post-announcement reaction is mostly bearish. Investors need to carefully manage their positions.
