$BTC breaks below $80K, with $75K emerging as key support ahead of FOMC

$BTC fell below $80,000 ahead of the FOMC meeting, as short-term sentiment weakened noticeably. According to Decrypt, the selloff in AI stocks and ETF outflows were the main drivers of the downturn. HashKey analyst Tim Sun identified $75,000 as the next key support level. Cointelegraph also noted that bulls had battled to hold the $80,000 level over the weekend but failed. A busy week of U.S. tech earnings and inflation data is adding to macro uncertainty. $80,000 is both a key weekly support level and a psychological threshold. If it gives way and $75,000 is breached as well, the technical outlook could weaken further.

From a macro perspective, this week’s biggest variables are the FOMC rate decision and inflation data. If the meeting takes a hawkish tone or inflation comes in above expectations, $BTC could remain under pressure. Conversely, if rate expectations ease, a rebound could emerge around $75,000. According to Decrypt, oil prices and interest rates had already pulled back in early Monday trading, offering some short-term relief. However, markets remain in a period of elevated volatility this macro-heavy week, and risks have not subsided.

The counterargument is that if ETF outflows and the correction in AI stocks continue, the case for $BTC support will weaken, and $75,000 may prove to be only a temporary cushion. What to watch next: whether the FOMC statement and dot plot signal a hawkish stance, whether $75,000 holds, and whether ETF flows stabilize. For traders watching BTC, the more important short-term question is whether $75,000 support is confirmed, rather than chasing the decline ahead of FOMC.
