Bitcoin Rallied Up to 31% After Previous Fed Meetings as Markets Watch FOMC
Bitcoin has recorded gains of as much as 31% following previous Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings in 2026, according to data shared by Coin Bureau, as markets prepare for the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision.
The cryptocurrency's performance after earlier Fed meetings has varied significantly, with three of the four meetings highlighted by Coin Bureau followed by rallies and one followed by a decline. The figures track Bitcoin's price movements after the respective policy meetings rather than establishing a guaranteed response to the next decision.
Bitcoin's Performance After Previous Fed Meetings
Coin Bureau reported that Bitcoin rallied 16% following the September 16 FOMC meeting. The strongest gain in the comparison came after the July 29 meeting, when BTC rose 31% from the meeting-day low to the peak of the subsequent rally.
The other meetings produced different outcomes. Bitcoin declined 13% following the June 17 meeting, while the April 29 meeting was followed by an 11% rally. These figures illustrate the range of price movements recorded after the four Fed meetings cited in the post.
Coin Bureau also noted that Bitcoin has rallied as much as 31% from an FOMC-day low to the peak of a subsequent rally in 2026. That figure represents the largest move in the periods highlighted, rather than a forecast for Bitcoin's performance after the current meeting.
Inflation and Interest Rate Expectations
The latest policy decision comes amid inflation figures cited by Coin Bureau. U.S. inflation reached 3.7% in September, while producer prices increased 6.3% year over year, according to the post.
Coin Bureau said the Federal Reserve was expected to hold interest rates at its October 28 meeting, following September's rate hike. The post did not specify the size of that hike or provide a forecast for the magnitude of any future policy adjustment.
The anticipated decision has placed the Fed's next policy move in focus for market participants. However, the historical figures shared by Coin Bureau do not establish that Bitcoin will repeat any of its previous post-meeting moves. The cited examples include markets both substantial gains and a double-digit decline.
For the current FOMC meeting, the key points in Coin Bureau's analysis are the expectation of an interest rate hold, the September inflation figures and Bitcoin's varied performance following earlier decisions in 2026.
