Trader Notes: El Crypto Prof sees Bitcoin forming a bullish inverse head & shoulders pattern ahead of the FOMC Meeting, pointing out that previous meetings have been bullish for Bitcoin.

#Bitcoin

FOMC tomorrow and $BTC forms a bullish inverse head & shoulders pattern here.

The past FOMC meetings have already marked the low of the left shoulder + head. Right shoulder next?

Probably just a coincidence.👀

So far, this meetings have mostly been bullish for BTC. pic.twitter.com/EbtYIkgswZ
