The upcoming FOMC rate decision on July 29, 2026, carries high importance. With consensus unknown, a hawkish surprise (higher-than-expected rate or hawkish commentary) could pressure BTC and S&P 500, while strengthening USD and potentially weighing on gold. Conversely, a dovish surprise (lower-than-expected rate or dovish commentary) might boost BTC and S&P 500, weaken USD, and support gold. Market participants will scrutinize the statement for forward guidance on monetary policy trajectory.
