BTC has repeatedly tested the 87,000 level but failed to hold above it—a classic case of resistance holding firm. Price has seen repeated wicks and intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Buyers have momentum, but selling pressure overhead is stronger.
The biggest wildcard this week is the Fed’s rate decision. If the Fed takes a dovish tone and rate-cut expectations rise, BTC could break above 87,000 and open up further upside. If it takes a hawkish tone and dampens hopes for rate cuts, BTC could quickly pull back and retest support near 85,000.
But markets often “buy the rumor, sell the news,” and price action doesn’t always follow the headlines. A dovish outcome could still trigger profit-taking as the news is priced in, leading to a rally that fades and a false breakout. A hawkish outcome could also mean the bad news is already priced in, with a rebound after the sell-off.
Position sizing and mindset matter more than predicting direction.
