The Fed raised the rate and Bitcoin absorbed it: now it attacks the upper zone.
$BTC en $76,664 (+1.20% in 24h), one day after the FOMC raised 25 bps to 3.75%-4.00% (the first hike since July 2023, with the dot plot calling for one more). The rate was already priced in: the real blow came from elsewhere, with the Senate blocking the CLARITY Act and the largest daily outflow from BTC ETFs since June, US$450.33 million.
Liquidation map, by distance to the price:
BELOW — longs get liquidated:
🔻 $76,270 · -0.51% · 33%
🔻 $75,535 · -1.47% · 67%
🔻 $73,224 · -4.49% · 100% (the heaviest)
ABOVE — shorts get liquidated:
🔺 $77,057 · +0.51% · 26%
🔺 $77,792 · +1.47% · 51%
🔺 $80,103 · +4.49% · 77%
The read: $77,057 has 26% strength and $77,792 has 51% — the upper zone is lighter than the lower one in the short term. If it clears them, the meat is up there. Down below, $76,270 is the only nearby level, but behind it there’s a wall at -1.5%.
Open interest in Binance futures is at 108,572 BTC, with 58.7% of accounts long. Without losing $76,270, the bias tilts upward.
Does it break $77,057 or does it return to $75,535?
