$BTC stuck in pre-FOMC chop — exactly where you don't want to trade.

Liquidity engineered on both sides. Classic trap for impatient traders. FOMC tomorrow changes the game, so no edge forcing anything now.

The plan:

• If we sweep the low, long zone is 78.3K–79K after trigger confirmation. Target 82K buy-side liquidity.

• If we reprice higher first, same short zones as yesterday — but only after triggers.

• If lows get swept then we pump into resistance, those shorts become counter-trend hedges. Risk/reward shifts.

• Everything waits for triggers. FOMC can nuke price with no warning.

Alerts set. Hands off until the setup shows up. This is process over impulse — trade the chart that appears, not the one you want. Patience funds the long game.
