With over $126 million liquidated in the past 24 hours, Bitcoins volatility is expected to increase before and after the FOMC statement. The Bitcoin market continues to enjoy a bullish sentiment fueled by the increased fear of a global banking crisis.

The pressure on Jerome Powell to save the banking industry and reduce the dollar inflation to 2 percent has fueled the recent Bitcoin pump. Moreover, Bitcoin has annual inflation of less than 2 percent, and next years halving event will reduce the figure much lower. As such, institutional investors and retail traders have gained confidence in stashing more Bitcoins to flee the inflationary fiat market.

Furthermore, Bitcoin price has rallied over 70 percent YTD while the United States Dollar DXY index and the DOW Jones are down 0.41 and 2.69 percent, respectively, in the same timeline.

Notably, CoinShares reported that the overall outflow in the Bitcoin market was due to the need for liquidity rather than the negative sentiment.
