The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting minutes will be released as scheduled today at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. This document covers the detailed content of the meeting held on December 9-10, and the market has already entered a highly sensitive period.

Interestingly, according to historical data, over 75% of the time after an FOMC meeting, the market experiences a downward trend—this figure is worth serious attention from all traders.

Currently, BTC is trapped in a range-bound consolidation pattern, neither trending upward nor collapsing downward. This is the perfect time to test trading strategies. In this environment of maintaining rhythm, the performance of ETH and BNB is also worth watching. Experienced traders should remain highly alert—prepare for possible downward breakouts while also keeping an eye on breakout opportunities to the upside. The release of macroeconomic data often disrupts this balance, so doing your homework and having a solid risk management plan in place are the most important tasks moving forward.
