Bitcoin s bullish triangle
Market Picture
Bitcoin has gained 2.6% over the past 24 hours to $28.3K. Meanwhile, demand for other cryptocurrencies was revived as the total crypto market capitalisation rose 3.4% to $1.18 trillion. Ethereum gained 4% overnight, reaching $1800.
Crypto Fear and Greed Index reached 68 (Greed), its highest level since November 2021.
A series of higher local lows is forming on the intraday charts of bitcoin, indicating players' interest in buying on dips. At the same time, local resistance is almost horizontal.
From a tactical perspective, a break above $28.5K could have a dam-breaking effect and quickly take the price to $30K. A break below $27.5K would negate the bullish technical signal and open the way for a deeper correction.
This is likely to be resolved later this evening after the Fed decision. The reaction of all markets could be vital as the range of expectations is incredibly wide.
