The Bitcoin market fell slightly in the early hours of Wednesday but continues to see a lot of support just below current levels. This is a market that will be paying close attention to the FOMC statement and press conference later in the day.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis

The Bitcoin market has found itself to be somewhat noisy in the early hours of Wednesday, testing $59,500 level before finding a little bit of stability. Keep in mind that Wednesday features the FOMC meeting at the end of the day, and perhaps more importantly, the press conference. This could have a major influence on Bitcoin as traders will try to gauge what’s going to happen with the US dollar over the next several months. That has a direct influence on what happens to Bitcoin because quite frankly, the whole purpose of Bitcoin is to get away from money printing.

So really at this point in time, I find it interesting that we have not rallied more than we have seen because quite frankly, we know that the Federal Reserve is about to start cutting. It’s a very interesting turn of events. I’m not saying that Bitcoin can’t continue to go higher and eventually make a fresh new high. Of course it can. But at this point in time, it doesn’t act quite right.

And in this environment, it’s okay to buy dips, but I would not be a chasing trader at this point, as I recognize that the $62,000 level might be difficult to get above. Underneath we have the $57,500 level offering support. In general, this is a market that I think continues to be noisy, but there is plenty of support. It’s an ETF on Wall Street after all, and this means that the market has a desire to have it succeed.
