Bitcoin’s 7-Day Net Taker Position Sinks to -3.43, Lowest Since July 2025, Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Bitcoin’s 7-Day Net Taker Position Hits One-Year Low Ahead of Fed Rate Decision Bitcoin’s seven-day Net Taker Volume Position Change fell to -3.43 on July 29, marking its lowest reading since July 28, 2025, when the indicator reached -3.71. The current reading is only 0.28 points above last year’s extreme, signaling one of the strongest periods of short-term aggressive sell-side activity recorded over the past 12 months. The indicator has also moved far beyond the chart’s -1 bearish threshold, reaching more than 3.4 times its magnitude. This suggests that market sell orders have gained unusually strong dominance over buy-side activity during the latest trading period. The timing adds further significance to the move. The activity is unfolding ahead of today’s Federal Reserve interest-rate announcement, with the two-day FOMC meeting concluding on July 29. The policy statement is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET, followed by the Fed’s press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET. This indicates that traders are adopting a notably defensive short-term position before receiving confirmation of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision. However, the extreme reading primarily measures the intensity of current taker activity and does not, on its own, confirm the next direction of Bitcoin’s price.
