Bitcoin's Next Move Hinges on One Date: The Fed's October 28 Decision Bitcoin opened October near $87,000, just shy of its September high. Then, on October 14, one data release changed the mood. US inflation for September came in at 3.7%, against a forecast of 3.6%. Core inflation also beat expectations. Within minutes, Bitcoin slid from about $83,800 to $82,800, and over $220 million in positions were liquidated in a single day. The Fed already raised rates in September to 3.75%-4.00%. Now the question is whether it will hike again on October 28. After the inflation print, hike odds jumped to roughly 50%, while some banks still expect a hold. Here's the twist: September's PCE inflation data, the Fed's preferred gauge, won't be released until October 29, one day after the decision. The Fed has to decide without it. Levels traders are watching: Support: $81,300, then $80,365 Resistance: $84,245, then $87,422 Meanwhile, institutions are still buying. US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $2.65 billion in net inflows in September. So the question is: will "Uptober" survive the Fed? This is educational content, not financial advice.

Ab Sawal: 24 Ghante Baad Bhi Correction Kyun Nahi? Simple wajah: Ye "ek din ka event" nahi hai — ye multiple, layered, ongoing problems hain jo mahinon se chal rahe hain.

RSI sirf "price ka pace" batata hai, lekin agar fundamental pressure continue rahe to price low RSI ke bawajood neeche reh sakti hai
