🗓️ Is the Fed “reducing the number of rate meetings”? The trending headline is a bit misleading: What should BTC watch out for?
On October 28, Fed Chair Warsh announced at a press conference following a rate meeting that the FOMC schedule would be adjusted, effective from fall 2027.
📌 Fact check
• There will still be 8 meetings each year—no reduction
• 2027: 1 meeting will focus solely on the long-term monetary policy strategy, with no vote on the federal funds rate and no policy statement; the other 7 meetings will set rates as usual
• 2028: Expected to have 2 strategy meetings + 6 rate-setting meetings
• The Fed has not yet announced which meetings will be strategy meetings
• Outcome of the meeting that day: Rates held at 3.75%–4.00%; the vote was reportedly 10 to 2
🔍 What this means for the market
• The number of predictable “rate-vote windows” will fall from 8 to 7 (and to 6 in 2028), concentrating macro events more heavily
• The Fed can still act in emergencies between meetings, so the possibility of unplanned policy shocks will not disappear
• For assets like BTC that are sensitive to liquidity and interest rates, each rate-setting meeting will carry more information, and volatility may become more concentrated
📊 BTC is currently around 77,400 USDT, down about 0.7% over 24 hours
• Recent support: 76,300 (October 30 low)
• Resistance: 78,100 (today’s high) / the 80,000 psychological level
• BTC briefly touched around 81,970 on October 29, then declined steadily; the short-term outlook remains weak
Do you think more concentrated rate decisions will make BTC more or less volatile?
