Bitcoin has shown relative stability above $95,000 as the crypto market enters a cautious phase ahead of the Federal Reserve policy meeting scheduled for late January.
While the market has seen a minor correction after last week’s strong gains, the move appears to reflect profit-taking rather than a fundamental change in sentiment.
All eyes are now on the first FOMC meeting of 2026, which is set to set the tone for US monetary policy after a rate-cutting cycle late last year brought interest rates to their lowest levels since 2023.
Any indication that the Fed will halt easing or continue cutting rates is expected to have a broad impact on risk assets, including the crypto market.
Meanwhile, continued inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs suggest that institutional interest has not completely faded, although near-term momentum appears to be moderating.
In a technical context, Bitcoin still faces key resistance near the psychological $100,000 level, making the Fed’s decision a key catalyst that could potentially determine the next price direction.
