Trader Notes: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez predicts that today's close above $61,500 "could signal the resumption of the bull market! Uptober."

Another trader Satoshi Flipper calls this FOMC decision bullish for risk assets like Bitcoin and crypto assets. He added that 50 basis points is more bullish than 25 basis points.

He concluded, "cost of borrowing just got even cheaper, hence companies will make more and have more capital available for investing in BTC/risk assets."  

Another crypto trader, More Crypto Online, predicts that a "break above yesterday’s high would open the door to $67,000." He called the price action a good reaction to the support zone and bulls need to hold above the trend channel for further upside momentum.  

Crypto Bully provided both long and short trade plans for Bitcoin. Suggesting how to trade, "Look for a retest with good volume to long towards $61,500 for a continuation long."

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
