The model showed a battle between bulls and bears at $1.63 resistance during evening hours.

Support held firm near $1.56 as momentum faded into thin holiday trading, according to the model.

Volume spiked 71% above the 24-hour average to 4.69 million tokens, coinciding with selling pressure from the session peak of $1.62, the model said.

The token completed a double-bottom formation at $1.52 support before rallying through $1.56 resistance.

Technical Analysis:
  • Primary resistance holds firm at $1.66 through multiple tests while support consolidates near $1.56
  • 11% drop in volume versus 30-day metrics signals trader fatigue, though selective spikes above 46,000 tokens reveal pockets of accumulation interest
  • Double-bottom structure at $1.52 support triggers recent rally attempt, creating potential launch pad for moves above $1.56 resistance
  • Upside breakout targets $1.58-$1.585 resistance cluster while breakdown below $1.56 support opens path to $1.52 retest levels

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
