The Federal Reserve sees its first double dissent in 32 years! BTC's key resistance level is revealed; how will the market move next?
Friends in the crypto circle, take note! Today (July 30), BTC prices hover around $118,000, while a 'policy storm' that could rewrite the trajectory of the crypto market is brewing within the Federal Reserve—according to 'Fed mouthpiece' Nick Timiraos, this week's Fed meeting may witness the first public dissent from two governors on interest rate decisions since 1993! This news, combined with key technical points for BTC, has quietly warmed market sentiment.
Internal divisions at the Federal Reserve: What does the 'double dissent' not seen in 32 years mean?
The two 'key figures' in this potential dissent are Federal Reserve Governor Waller and Vice Chairman Bowman, both nominated during the Trump administration. They have recently made clear statements: cooling consumption, a loosening labor market, and temporary inflationary pressures from tariffs support a rate cut in July. If the committee ultimately holds rates steady, it would mark the first instance of 'double dissent' at the Fed in nearly 30 years, with policy shift signals potentially arriving sooner than the market expects.
Market reactions are starting to emerge:
Rate cut expectations heat up: Federal funds futures show a probability of over 60% for a 25 basis point cut in September; if the dissenting votes materialize, it could lead to an increase in rate cut frequency this year.
Liquidity expectations improve: Rate cuts will release market funds, and risk assets (like BTC) may benefit, but be wary of 'overly optimistic' pullback risks.
BTC Technical Analysis: Is $118,000 the 'Starting Point' or the 'Ending Point'?
From the candlestick chart, BTC is currently in a consolidation phase, with key points clearly defined:
Support levels: $114,667 and $116,517.
Resistance level: $119,270.
Short-term trend logic:
If the Federal Reserve signals a dovish stance, BTC may break through the $119,270 resistance and challenge the $120,000 mark.
If the meeting maintains a hawkish stance, BTC may retest the $116,517 support, but the $114,667 below is strong support, limiting downside potential.
Market Strategy: Focus on three key variables and control risks.
Federal Reserve meeting results: Pay close attention to Powell's response to the 'double dissent' and the interest rate path hinted at in the dot plot.
August non-farm and CPI data: If the labor market continues to cool or inflation falls more than expected, it will strengthen rate cut expectations.
BTC holdings changes: Are institutional funds entering through the policy window? Observe large on-chain transfers and inflow/outflow data from exchanges.
Personal Opinion:
It is suggested to focus on range operations; follow up with light positions after breaking through $119,270, while the lower support levels can be used to position short-term long orders.
If it breaks above the key level of $118,000 and holds, it may continue to gain momentum upward, reaching $119,000; conversely, if it keeps oscillating below the key level, consider the $117,000 point! Specific support and resistance levels can be found in the judge's profile!
The policy divergence not seen at the Fed in 32 years, combined with BTC's key resistance level, may make this week a crucial turning point for the crypto market. Regardless of the outcome, controlling positions and closely monitoring data is essential to seize opportunities amid volatility!
The bull market is fleeting; what you lack is never opportunity but the courage to pull the trigger! Pay attention to the judge, let me lend you a hand.#巨鲸动向
