BlockBeats News, January 28th: Analyst Ali Charts posted that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the United States will hold its first interest rate meeting of 2026. The market’s expectation of a rate cut in January is only 2.8%, and the recent possibility of policy easing is low. Looking back at 2025 data, out of eight FOMC meetings, Bitcoin experienced a significant pullback after seven meetings and only a brief uptrend once, with Bitcoin falling 9% after the last meeting.
The analysis points out that FOMC interest rate weeks usually come with high Bitcoin volatility and downside risks. Even if the market remains optimistic before the meeting due to rate cut expectations, the post-announcement reaction is mostly bearish. Investors need to carefully manage their positions.
