What Tonight’s FOMC Means for Bitcoin, Ethereum & Solana

Paradise Trades released an interesting video about the market outlook just before the Federal Reserve’s FOMC decision. The focus was on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and altcoins, with clear trading levels and a cautious approach to the event.

The FOMC Factor

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points. What really matters is Jerome Powell’s tone. If he sounds hawkish, the market could drop short-term, but that may set up a great buying opportunity. If he leans dovish, traders can expect continued upside.

The host warned that FOMC events often cause “whipsaw” price action. This means the market may pump hard on the first candle, then retrace and shake out traders before finding real direction. The advice: don’t chase the first reaction.

Bitcoin (BTC) Outlook

Bitcoin is testing a major resistance zone around 117.5k. A breakout and acceptance above this level could lead to new all-time highs. Until then, the plan is to take profit into resistance.

On the downside, the 113k–112k area is the key buy zone. A pullback there would be a strong place to add to positions and aim for higher targets once resistance breaks.

Ethereum (ETH) Outlook

Ethereum has been holding its daily trend since breaking out from 2400. The main resistance is 4570. If ETH flips this level, it could quickly run toward 4760 and then all-time highs.

If ETH fails to break through, a pullback toward 4200 or even 4000 would provide better long opportunities. The host noted that the 4000 zone offers the best risk/reward setup.

Solana (SOL) Outlook

Solana has been performing well. The long taken at 208 is still active, with targets at 250 and 300. A dip into the 220–218 zone is seen as a strong buy area, thanks to confluence from Fibonacci retracement and volume structure.

If Solana holds above this zone, the next major upside move could be toward 300.

Altcoins & Market Structure

Altcoins have cooled down after strong rallies last week. The video pointed out that when altcoin open interest overtakes Bitcoin’s, corrections often follow. This happened in March 2024 and January 2025, and could be happening again now.

Still, some altcoins like MNT, Hype, and Pump are showing resilience. These may be the better plays compared to weaker alts stuck in downtrends.

Trading Plan

The strategy is clear:

Avoid chasing news-driven pumps.

Place stink bids (limit orders) at key support zones.

Take profits into resistance.

Focus on stronger coins, not laggards.

The host believes the best opportunities will come after the FOMC event, when the dust settles and the market shows real direction.
