Federal Open Market Committee

Bitcoin is under pressure ahead of the FOMC minutes, with traders weighing whether rate expectations could trigger more volatility. Whale accumulation and ETF inflows remain supportive, while chart watchers focus on a potential pullback toward $81,000 before any renewed push toward $90,000.

Gold remains caught between fading expectations for an October Fed rate increase and a renewed selloff in Treasuries that has pushed long-dated yields to 24-year highs. Silver is holding key support as investment demand and industrial consumption themes offset softer solar-sector expectations.

Solana is trading near a major resistance zone after gaining 2% over the past 7 days, while monthly inflows into Solana-linked ETFs jumped 40% in September. Technical traders are watching whether SOL can clear the $120 to $125 area and open a path toward $150, or whether a pullback toward $110 to $115 comes first.

USD/INR briefly traded above 96.0000 after the Federal Reserve rate hike before easing toward 95.8825 as traders reassessed short term momentum. Higher U.S. Treasury yield appeal, oil related risks and unsettled institutional positioning continue to keep the pair volatile.

Bitcoin remains pinned near $80,000 as crypto traders reduce risk ahead of an expected Federal Reserve rate hike. Stablecoin positioning and subdued leverage suggest the bigger market move may come after policymakers clarify the path ahead.

GBP/USD is consolidating near a key technical support zone after rising from its June low, with traders weighing energy-market stress, elevated bond yields, and upcoming macroeconomic data. Bulls are watching for a move toward the top of the ascending channel, while bears see risk if the pair breaks below channel support.

Gold stabilized Friday after a sharp selloff, helped by softer crude prices and easing Treasury yields. The rebound lacked conviction as rising rate-hike expectations and a firm dollar kept XAUUSD capped ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting.
