Bitcoin (BTC) rose to its highest point since August 22 Wednesday and reached $ 117,300 before retiring to $ 116,400.
Much of Wednesday’s excitement has not yet come, which is related to the Federal Reserve’s interest decision at 1 p.m. 18:00 UTC and subsequent press conference. Fed is expected to reduce the rates by 25 basic points,
The early movement was exciting because it stopped at the same point as a remarkable “CME hole”, the difference between where Bitcoin -Futures closes on a Friday and open on a Sunday.
With the now -filled hole now, Bitcoin could start consolidating in an interval away from critical levels of support for $ 110,000, this is likely to lead to more capital rotating to Altcoins.
According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin has crossed down to 57%, the lowest point since January, suggesting the market leans against speculative altcoin player as opposed to BTC in a low volatility period.

Token Talk
By Oliver Knight
- Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade with a tight range and rises slightly to $ 116,000 in the last 24 hours, but fails to create speed for a break.
- Altcoins take advantage of the lack of volatility with several spikes leading to Bitcoin dominance sliding to an eight-month low of 57%, according to CoinMarketcap data.
- Dominance is a metric that is often used to assess whether capital flows into Bitcoin or more speculative altcoins, as it seems to be the case.
- Another bullish factor for altcoins is that the average crypto -token RSI, an abbreviation for relative strength index, is 45.47. This means that Altcoin’s edges into “oversold” territory as opposed to “overbought”, suggesting that several tokens are founded for an extension to the upside.
- It is worth noting that Bitcoin dominance dropped to 33% in 2017 and 40% in 2021, which means that Altcoins still have more room to drive.
- Much will depend on how Bitcoin works if it starts testing record heights of $ 124,000. A breakout on a significant volume is likely to lead to a capital rotation back to the biggest cryptocurrency when investors try to exploit a potential cyclushøj, with the personalities like Eric Trump, which requires $ 175,000 by the end of the year.
