The benchmark cryptocurrency’s struggles this week come after spot Bitcoin ETFs snapped a decent 19-day streak of net inflows on Monday. Data showed the sector recorded outflows of about $65 million. 
Also on Tuesday, a <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/bitcoin-btc-price-falters-another-downturn-in-crypto-prices/">Bitcoin</a> wallet that had been dormant for more than 5 years, suddenly woke up and transferred 8,000 BTC worth more than $535 million to several addresses, including Binance. 
According to Lookonchain, this wallet received 8,000 BTC on December 6, 2018. The price of Bitcoin was $3,810 at the time.

While price remains well above the psychological $60,000 level, the upcoming FOMC minutes and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s commentary has investors keenly watching. 
It ties in with the overall macro environment, including the economic reports expected this week, and market experts have signaled this as a scenario that could feature highly on investors’ list of factors to consider. 
“Markets are risk-off mode ahead of CPI and FOMC tomorrow. This month’s FOMC will also release the Dot Plot, which informs the market how many cuts the Fed anticipates for the rest of 2024,” analysts at QCP Capital, a global digital asset trading firm and market maker, said.

Although prices could dip further ahead of these macroeconomic reports and Fed’s interest decision, pseudonymous crypto analysts Moustache and Max say FOMC has historically been bullish for Bitcoin. 
“FOMC tomorrow and $BTC forms a bullish inverse head &amp; shoulders pattern here. The past FOMC meetings have already marked the low of the left shoulder + head. Right shoulder next?” crypto trader Moustache pointed out to his 123,000 X followers.
