<p>Bitcoin [BTC] showed a positive response to the Federal Reserve’s announcement regarding interest rate cuts, pushing its price above $62,000 for the first time this month. This decision to lower rates by 50 basis points was met with a Bitcoin buying spree by investors.</p>
<p>This reaction aligns with previous speculations as lower rates are expected to positively impact liquidity flows in risk-on assets. However, this also raises questions about the future trajectory of the market.</p>
<h2 id="expectations-and-volatility">Expectations and Volatility</h2>
<p>With interest rates coming down, expectations around Bitcoin are high. This could support more upside in the coming months, but it also opens the door to increased volatility, leading to unexpected pullbacks and highly volatile price movements.</p>
<p>Increased optimism and appetite for leverage due to high expectations could lead to more long positions. This could be seen as an opportunity for liquidations by whales and institutional players.</p>
<p>Market data supports these expectations, with Open interest reaching its highest level in the last seven weeks. The estimated leverage ratio has been rallying since August lows, indicating a possible increase in market sentiment.</p>
<h2 id="bitcoin-etfs-and-liquidity-injections">Bitcoin ETFs and Liquidity Injections</h2>
<p>The announcement of rate cuts seems to have positively impacted Bitcoin ETFs, with approximately $52.83 million worth of Bitcoin ETF inflows recorded on the 18th of September. These positive ETF flows and expected liquidity injections could set the stage for a healthy Bitcoin run-up, but also potential heavy liquidations and pullbacks.</p>
<p>Despite this, Bitcoin is still at risk of liquidations. On-chain data suggests that the recent wave of liquidity injection into Bitcoin has already dissipated. A spike in longs, which may be at risk of liquidation if the market pulls back unexpectedly, was also observed.</p>
<p>The presence of highly leveraged long positions could allow whales and institutions to manipulate prices. Regardless of the potential for a retracement, higher liquidity flows are expected to push Bitcoin higher in the next few months.</p>
