All eyes are on the end of the month, with the release of inflation figures (<strong>CPI<\/strong>) and the Federal Open Market Committee (<strong>FOMC<\/strong>) meeting of the US Federal Reserve <strong>on October 29<\/strong>. These events are crucial, as they <strong>will dictate upcoming monetary policy<\/strong>. Higher-than-expected inflation or a more restrictive tone from the Fed could reduce appetite for risk assets like Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current level of <strong>$107,500<\/strong> is now <strong>a crucial psychological and technical support<\/strong>. If sellers manage to break through this floor, the path would be open to a more pronounced drop, with a first target around <strong>$104,000<\/strong>. The loss of this level would confirm a short-term bearish reversal and could intensify fears of a broader bear market. The coming days will therefore be decisive in determining whether bulls can regain control or if bears are about to take their revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/go-bitget\/charles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Earn a $10 bonus<\/a><\/strong> when buying your cryptos during the dip on Bitget.
