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.
