Notable Developments:

Trader Notes: Crypto trader GalaxyBTC noted this kind of consolidation on Bitcoin is familiar, saying it has happened before Bitcoin surged from $50,000 to $70,000.

Byzantine General observes Bitcoin being in a choppy, indecisive range, a “no man’s land.”

With the FOMC out of the way, price action might stay stuck here.

A trade setup only looks appealing if it takes out the local high or low, offering a potential scalp in the opposite direction.

Daan Crypto Trades sees Bitcoin retesteing near its range low after the FOMC but held a higher low, a sign of underlying strength.

Price is still ranging, but several marginally lower highs above hint at short stop and liquidation liquidity stacking up.

Once one of those levels breaks, a cascade could follow. For now, though, strong supply above $118,000 is capping upside and may take time to absorb.
