Trader Notes: IntoTheBlock stated that as Bitcoin is chasing the $61,000 mark, traders should watch out for $64,000 as the key level, where 1.57 million addresses are currently holding at a loss.

The price spike led crypto trader Jelle to predict that a break above the dotted line could lead to "Q4 turbo bull thesis…a reality."

In another tweet, Jelle sees that the market is gearing up for a sell-the-news candle tomorrow. He noted that this could be the most important FOMC event in a long time.

Stockmoney Lizards predicts that a weekly close above $60,000 will lead to a bullish flip and an expected consolidation at $60,000/$61,000 before heading towards $65,000. He also marked BTC making a new short-term high.

Crypto Rover highlighted a chart to show BTC movement the last time rates were cut by 50 basis points.
