📊 FOMC Meeting Analysis: What Could Happen to BTC and the Market?
The Federal Reserve’s next rate decision is one of the biggest events the market is watching this week. The decision is expected at 6:00 PM UTC on September 16, followed by the press conference at 6:30 PM UTC.
Before the meeting, the big question is whether the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points. With the move already largely expected by the market, the decision itself may not cause the biggest reaction. Instead, traders will be watching the Fed’s tone, the dot plot, and its outlook for future rate decisions.
If the Fed so

Solana Holds Near $100 as Bulls Look for a Breakout
Solana (SOL) is trading around the $100–$102 zone as traders watch closely for the next major move. The $100 level remains important, as holding above it could give buyers a stronger base for a recovery.
Solana's network activity remains strong, while continued institutional interest is also supporting the bigger picture. However, the price still needs confirmation before a stronger bullish move can be expected.
Market Analysis
A break above $110 with strong buying pressure could push SOL toward $120–$123, while a failure to hold $100 could s

My View on the August CPI Data.
The U.S. CPI data for August is out, and I think traders need to be careful with the market right now.
CPI went up 0.4% in August, while the yearly rate stayed at 3.4%. The numbers were close to what people were expecting, so there was no big surprise.
But one thing is still clear, inflation is not down to the level the Fed wants yet.
What does this mean for the Fed?
I don't think this CPI report gives the Fed a strong reason to rush into rate cuts.
If inflation keeps staying high, the Fed may decide to keep rates high for longer. This can make things difficult

📺 What Could Happen Next?
Scenario A – Stabilise & Bounce:
If Bitcoin reclaims ~$110K+ and holds above 200-DMA, we could see risk-on move return:
fresh alts pick up flow, momentum builds, and big setups emerge .
Scenario B – Breakdown & Reset:
If Bitcoin fails to hold support zones (~$94K-$100K) and dominance keeps rising, we might see a deeper corrective phase 📉
Alts would lag heavily, and the market would demand serious accumulation discipline 😢
🧠 My thoughts
Right now, we’re in a “wait forconfirmation” phase 🌀
Discipline over impulsivity: patience pays more than FOMO trades .
