Core conclusion
After BTC dipped to the 62,700 level yesterday and formed a local low, it started an oversold rebound/repair. Current price is consolidating around 63,600. Today’s U.S. Federal Reserve July rate decision has officially landed, and the market is in a high state of watchfulness. Both bulls and bears are waiting for the final guidance from the rate decision and Waller’s comments. Before the decision, price action will most likely remain a tight-range consolidation. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to ease, so safe-haven buy support is limited; on the capital side, ETF inflows keep narrowing. Institutional funds generally stay cautious. After on-chain short-term longs were liquidated in a burst, selling pressure has been temporarily released, but there isn’t enough incremental capital, so the rebound is highly constrained. Technically, it’s a repair market after the decline. The key resistance above is 64,200–64,500, and the strong support below is 62,800–63,100. Treat it as a range-trading market before the decision: prioritize shorting at bounce resistance, and if it pulls back to support, test longs with light positioning. After the news lands, follow the market reaction, stay disciplined with position sizing, and guard against violent needle-like spikes after the decision is released.

News / Capital flow breakdown
I. International finance & geopolitical news
Macroeconomic/financial side (data source: CME Fed Watch, Caixin Global)
The Federal Reserve’s July FOMC rate decision will be released today, followed by Waller holding a press conference. This is the final core variable for the market this week. According to the latest CME Fed Watch data for July 29, the probability of keeping rates unchanged is about 61%, while the probability of a 25 basis point hike rises to 39%.

Before the decision, trading is cautious. The U.S. Dollar Index keeps oscillating at high levels, U.S. stocks are consolidating in a narrow range, and risk assets are generally in a wait-and-see mode. The core focus of this decision is still the dot plot and the tone of Waller’s remarks: if a hawkish signal is released, BTC will most likely probe lower to test support further; if the stance turns more dovish, it will bring a phase of repair rebound. Before the news lands, it’s not recommended to position heavily for a one-way bet—wait until the signal is clear, then act in line with it.

Geopolitical side (data source: China News Network, Reuters)
Mideast-Iran diplomacy mediation is still progressing. Both sides maintain a ceasefire posture. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is gradually returning to normal, and international crude oil prices are oscillating weaker. The marginal tail risk of inflation has eased, but at the same time safe-haven sentiment continues to cool down, which cannot provide additional upside momentum for the crypto market. In the short term, geopolitical factors have limited impact on price action.

II. On-chain & institutional capital data
Institutional capital dimension (data source: SoSoValue)
As of July 28, the U.S. BTC spot ETF’s daily net inflow has narrowed further. Ahead of the rate decision landing, top institutions generally remain on the sidelines and have not shown large-scale bargain-hunting or selling actions. The institutional stance of waiting and watching means that before the decision, it’s hard to see a one-way big move; the market will mainly digest expectations through range consolidation.

On-chain positioning/coin allocation (data source: Lookonchain, CoinGlass)
During yesterday’s decline, the entire network’s BTC long positions saw concentrated liquidations. A large amount of short-term speculative capital was cleared, and staged selling pressure was released. Meanwhile, addresses holding mid-to-long-term positions remain stable, with no large-scale selling. At low levels, there have been a few small incremental buys by rare whales, but the buy-through/conversion strength is limited and not enough to directly reverse the trend.

⚠️ Risk warning: Around the time before and after the Federal Reserve’s rate decision lands, market volatility will sharply expand, making it very easy to see fast needle-like spikes. All trading must strictly set stop-losses, strictly control position sizing, and prohibit heavy leverage betting on the news outcome. $BTC ‌#Bitmine持有578万枚ETH
