He outlined a chart showing that the cryptocurrency dropped after \u201cevery single Fed meeting\u201d since July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he predicted that tomorrow\u2019s FOMC is \u201cunlikely to be any different,\u201d as bitcoin could drop further. The asset <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-halted-at-80k-pudgy-penguins-pengu-rockets-by-double-digits-market-watch\/\">pumped<\/a> to $79,500 on a couple of occasions in the past week or so, but was rejected both times and now sits around $77,000.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BRACE YOURSELF BITCOIN HOLDERS!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been tracking Bitcoin price action around every FOMC meeting since July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern is brutal.<\/p>\n<p>Every single Fed meeting since then has triggered a hard drop in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>No exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow\u2019s FOMC is unlikely to be any different.\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Wf2As6cNXg\">pic.twitter.com\/Wf2As6cNXg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Crypto Rover (@cryptorover) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cryptorover\/status\/2049003370351092201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The chart above outlines several big daily price drops in the first week or so after all previous meetings. What\u2019s particularly worrying is that the Federal Reserve actually reduced the rates by 25 bps on three separate occasions in late 2025. Although lower interest rates are typically regarded as bullish for risk-on assets like BTC, the cryptocurrency actually dipped after those cuts as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Or Maybe Not?<\/h2>\n<p>Another analyst outlined a different perspective, basing their prediction on the fact that this is likely to be Jerome Powell\u2019s last FOMC meeting. Consequently, they <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/King0ftheCharts\/status\/2048776409695609076\">noted<\/a> that there could be a \u201cpossible Powell farewell rally\u201d after Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bitfinex analysts shared their opinion in an email to CryptoPotato, indicating that markets will \u201cfavor a phase of consolidation or even a technical retest of the $75,000 level\u201d heading into the FOMC meeting. Once it concludes, though, BTC could rise above $80,000 for the first time in almost three months.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, the path of least resistance in the near term is likely consolidation or a pullback toward the $75,000 region, with a decisive break above $80,000 required to confirm a more durable bullish regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-investors-beware-will-history-repeat-and-btc-drop-after-tomorrows-fomc-meeting\/\">Bitcoin Investors Beware: Will History Repeat and BTC Drop After Tomorrow\u2019s FOMC Meeting?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what is expected to be one of the most eventful economic weeks of 2026, arguably the most notable event will take place tomorrow evening when the US Federal Reserve will announce whether it has made any interest rate changes and its future plans.
