Back above $81K — on Fed decision day. ⚡
Bitcoin reclaimed $81,000 overnight, trading near $81,400 — up about 2% on the day — after slipping under $80,000 on Monday for the first time in over a week. Ether followed, up roughly 2–3% near $2,360, and the majors bounced with it: ZEC +8%, HYPE +5%, DOGE and XRP about +3%.
The bounce rode an Asia-led risk rebound — South Korea's Kospi jumped 6.6% as SK Hynix surged on a sevenfold profit jump — but the real test lands later today. The Fed announces at 18:00 UTC (2 p.m. EDT), with markets pricing ~92% odds of no change. What traders are actually waiting for is Chair Warsh's press conference, and any hint about a December hike.
Underneath, the tape is firmer than Monday: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $176M on Tuesday, a second straight day of inflows after Monday's $110M. Shorts felt the move — about $138M liquidated in 24 hours, roughly three-quarters of it shorts. And on-chain watchers flagged three whales moving 6,168 BTC (~$498M) into Coinbase Prime overnight — flow to note, not a verdict on its own.
Levels, not predictions: $80K is now the line to hold, $79,400–$79,600 marked Monday's dip. Above, the question is whether $81,400 holds into the press conference — or gives it back on one hawkish sentence.
Process over prediction: wait for the decision and the close, not the headline wick. No trade call here — just the tape, the levels, and the discipline to let confirmation come first. 🧱⚡
