Fed held 3.75–4.00% (10-2). Warsh dissent signals hawkish lean into December, but futures still price 86% hike probability. $BTC reaction: $80.6k → $81.1k post-decision.
Data points:
• BlackRock added ~$151M $BTC today — second consecutive inflow after multi-week drawdown
• $79–80k zone absorbed Monday selloff cleanly
• $82k remains technical ceiling
Thesis: Institutional accumulation + Fed pause (not pivot) = compression under resistance. December hike risk is the only overhang.
Setup:
🟢 Long break of $82k, stop $79.8k
🔴 Breakdown <$79k → short to $77.5k, stop $80.5k
Risk/reward skewed to upside if $82k clears. Lose $79k and momentum flips bearish into mid-$70s retest.
