Bitcoin is holding near $64,000—but the real move may not begin until the Fed speaks. BTC has traded between roughly $63,469 and $64,640 today, while #XRP is hovering near $1.06 as traders reduce risk ahead of the Federal Reserve decision. Bitcoin #ETFs flows have also weakened again after briefly improving, so institutional demand is not currently giving the market a clear safety net. Bullish conditions: • #BTC holds the $63,000–$64,000 support zone • The Fed holds rates without signalling aggressive future hikes • BTC reclaims $65,000–$66,500 with volume • XRP recovers $1.088–$1.11 Bearish conditions: • A surprise hike or strongly hawkish message pushes yields and the dollar higher • BTC closes below $63,000 • XRP loses $1.04, exposing the psychological $1 level Invalidation: A sustained #BTC break above $66,500 would invalidate the immediate bearish structure. A daily close below $63,000 would invalidate the short-term recovery attempt. The next event to watch: The Fed decision at 2:00 p.m. ET today, followed by Kevin Warsh’s messaging. The decision matters—but the market’s reaction to the decision matters more.
