Just noticed something interesting about Bitcoin's behavior around FOMC meetings. We're sitting around $73.8K right now, and BTC is heading into the March decision on strong footing, but the historical data is kind of telling a different story. Apparently, Bitcoin has actually sold off in the 48 hours after 7 out of 8 FOMC meetings this year, regardless of whether the Fed actually cut rates or held steady. It's not really about the decision itself - it's more like the event just triggers profit-taking regardless of the outcome. What's wild is that markets are basically pricing in zero cuts for the rest of the year, with the Fed likely staying put at current levels. You've got oil hovering near $100, geopolitical tensions, and a weaker jobs market all complicating things. So even though Bitcoin's momentum looks solid heading in, there's a real risk of that classic sell the news dump once the announcement drops. Worth keeping an eye on if you're holding through the decision.
