<li>Tomorrow is the next FOMC meeting, in which the markets have priced in a 25bps rate hike which would get the fed funds rate to 5.00 &#8211; 5.25.</li>
<li>The market is pricing in a 94% probability of a 25 bps rate hike, all but confirmed.</li>
<li>However, the FOMC meeting has been historically negative for Bitcoin price action.</li>
<li>The price remained stagnant twice in the past nine FOMC meetings and dropped in the other seven.</li>
<li>The last four FOMC meetings have seen negative price drops.</li>
<li>Bitcoin is down 5% in the past five days, so has the price action led to the FOMC meeting?</li>
<li>But ultimately, 2022 was the year of rate hikes, for the first time meaningfully since the 2008 cycle — which is why these events had such a negative influence.</li>
