Bitcoin slips below monthly support as traders await FOMC, while AI hardware selling spreads across global markets
Bitcoin briefly fell below $63,000 and hit its lowest level in nearly 10 days before rebounding around $62,700, but it still remains under a key resistance zone ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Traders cited in the report kept a cautious view: resistance sits at $64,000 to $64,400, while liquidity is concentrated lower between $60,000 and $62,000. Analyst Killa said the structure stays range-bound and bearish unless BTC reclaims $65,700 and the weekly open, while Wulf said the real directional move may come after the Fed decision even though buyers have shown up around $62,700. The report also tied crypto price action to a broader cross-asset reset. US semiconductor and memory names stayed weak in late trading, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 4.49%, and selling spread through Micron, SK Hynix ADR, SanDisk, AMD and Corning. In Asia, South Korea’s KOSPI dropped 5.99% after an intraday slide of more than 12%, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 also declined. The piece said some global funds were rotating away from Korean semiconductor exposure and toward Hong Kong tech names and China’s domestic chip narrative, with ChangXin Memory Technology rising 12.66%. Investors are now watching the Fed decision, Chair Waller’s press conference, US GDP and core PCE data, the Bank of Japan meeting, and earnings from Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Coinbase and Strategy.
