Bitcoin stalls below $90K as gold sets $5.3K record high ahead of FOMC decision

Bitcoin briefly pushed toward $90,500 before slipping back under $90,000 as traders awaited the latest Federal Reserve interest-rate decision. Gold climbed to a record above $5,300 per ounce while the US dollar index weakened, adding to macro uncertainty that failed to trigger a decisive BTC breakout. Market participants highlighted the narrowing $86,000–$93,000 range and warned that a weaker rebound from support could signal growing downside risk.
