Bitcoin hovered near $113,000 in Asian afternoon hours Wednesday as traders positioned cautiously ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve policy decision, with fading liquidity and a stronger dollar weighing on sentiment across risk markets.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency remained up 4.5% over the past week but slipped 0.7% in the past 24 hours, mirroring modest losses across major tokens. Ether traded at $4,028, down 1.4%, while Solana’s SOL and a certain platform’s token each declined about 2%. XRP held slightly higher near $2.62, extending a strong seven-day run as traders rotated into high-volume tokens.

The moves come ahead of a pivotal Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Oct. 28–29, where officials are widely expected to cut benchmark rates by 25 basis points to the 4.00%–4.25% range.

Listening to the bear's advice will lead to big losses.

What else is there to fear from the Fed after breaking 110,000?

$110,000 is a bit unstable.

Breaking 120,000 is not a dream
