Bitcoin price today remained resilient above the $64,000 support zone as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the Federal Reserve’s July policy meeting. While $BTC has traded within a narrow range over the past two weeks, that consolidation could soon end as markets prepare for one of the most influential macro events of the quarter. Although the Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged, traders are closely watching the central bank’s policy outlook for clues on the direction of liquidity, inflation and financial conditions, all of which could determine Bitcoin’s next major move.
What to Expect From Today’s FOMC Meeting?
The Federal Reserve’s July policy meeting is expected to be the biggest macro catalyst for Bitcoin today, with investors preparing for increased volatility once the decision is announced. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets currently assign a 68.5% probability that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%, while a 31.5% chance remains for a 25-basis-point rate hike, reflecting greater uncertainty than in recent meetings.
🚨🚨🚨 The #FOMC meeting is due in 8 hours. 29th July.

If we get 25 BPS hike, then expect market to dump further.
