Some of the declines in Bitcoin prices came even after the Federal Reserve actually lowered interest rates.
In what is expected to be one of the most eventful economic weeks of 2026, arguably the most notable event will happen tomorrow evening when the US Federal Reserve will announce whether it has made any changes to interest rates and its future plans.
Although experts are convinced that prices will be left unchanged, history has shown that Bitcoin tends to be volatile in the days following meetings, with most of it heading south.
Will Bitcoin fall again?
Popular cryptocurrency analyst Crypto Rover noticed this pattern, which began at least in the middle of last year. He outlined a chart showing that the cryptocurrency has fallen after “every Fed meeting” since July 2025.
Furthermore, he predicted that tomorrow’s FOMC meeting is “unlikely to be any different,” as Bitcoin could fall further. Assets pumping to $79,500 on several occasions in the past week or so, but it was rejected both times and is now at about $77,000.
Get ready Bitcoin holders!
I have tracked Bitcoin’s price movement during every FOMC meeting since July 2025.
The style is brutal.
Every Fed meeting since then has resulted in a sharp drop in interest rates $ Bitcoin.
No exceptions.

The chart above shows several large daily price declines in the first week or so after all the previous meetings. What’s particularly concerning is that the Federal Reserve has already cut interest rates by 25 basis points on three separate occasions in late 2025. Although lower interest rates are typically considered bullish for riskier assets like Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency actually fell after those cuts as well.
Or maybe not?
Another analyst set a different view, basing his forecast on the fact that this will likely be Jerome Powell’s last FOMC meeting. And therefore they male That there could be a “possible farewell rally for Powell” after Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Bitfinex analysts shared their opinion in an email to CryptoPotato, stating that markets “would favor a consolidation phase or even a technical retest of the $75,000 level” before the FOMC meeting. However, once this is done, Bitcoin could rise above $80,000 for the first time in almost three months.
“As a result, the path of least resistance in the near term is likely to be a consolidation or pullback towards the $75,000 area, with a decisive break above $80,000 required to confirm a more permanent bullish system.”
