Bitcoin Braces for a High-Stakes Week as Fed Decision and Inflation Data Loom

A packed schedule of central-bank meetings, U.S. economic releases and mid-term elections from 26 to 30 October is set to dictate Bitcoin’s next move.


The Federal Reserve’s rate decision on 28 October tops the list. Markets expect the 3.75–4.00 % range to stay unchanged, yet any hints from Chair Kevin Warsh on how long policy will remain tight could swing risk assets sharply.


Thursday’s third-quarter GDP print and September PCE inflation reading will follow, giving the Fed fresh clues on price pressures and, by extension, the odds of future rate cuts.


Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe warns that holding 80 000 is essential; failure to clear 87 000 could send BTC back below 75 000. LD Capital’s Jack Yi adds that a break under 79 000 would open the door to 75 000 and 71 000, though he still views 57 000 as the cycle low.
