🔥 The Night Before the FOMC Decision: BTC briefly drops below $75,000

The biggest macro variable this week is here—the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision will be released at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow.

Just captured 24h market action: BTC $75,928 (-1.33%), intraday low $74,968; ETH $2,405 (-2.96%); SOL $97.5 (-3.51%).

Three things to watch:

1️⃣ Macro headwinds dominate: Global bond yields hit fresh highs for the cycle. And with oil prices pushing inflation higher, “rate hikes” have once again become the market buzzword—crypto assets and risk appetite are both coming under pressure.

2️⃣ Event-driven volatility patterns: Historical data shows that within the first 5 minutes after an FOMC announcement, BTC often sees sharp swings. This time, officials’ signals are notably split, so tonight into the early hours, volatility may expand further.

3️⃣ Double uncertainty: The aftershock from the CLARITY Act’s procedural voting failure hasn’t faded. With both regulation and macro factors stacking together, the weight of this decision is heavier than usual.

Until the dust settles, the market will likely keep waiting.

Do you think it will stand still in the early hours—or will there be an unexpected rate hike? Let’s discuss in the comments 👇
