FED days are for levels, not direction.FED days are for levels, not direction. Above 90k I respect the squeeze; below 85.3k I respect the breakdown. Map, not signal.
KRAKEN:BTCUSD BTC is chopping around 88k just under a 1h channel top into FED today/tomorrow. ETF flows look soft and options positioning still leans defensive.
I’m not opening new trades into the announcement. Anything stuck between 87–89k post-FED is a no-trade chop zone for me.
Post-FED: if BTC holds above 90k I’ll only look for pullback longs with 92–93k as context; if it loses 85.3k and can’t reclaim, I’ll lean into shorts toward 82–81k. Map, not signal.
