“This feels frighteningly familiar,” trading resource The Kobeissi Letter <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1839572699678437735" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">wrote</a> in part of a response on X.
The move followed the S&amp;P 500 setting repeated new all-time highs since the Federal Reserve announced policy easing measures in the form of a <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-hits-62-6-k-fed-us-stocks-warning" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">50-basis-point interest rate cut</a> on Sept. 18.
The day’s key US macro data release, the August print of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index, came in broadly as expected.
“The next Fed meeting is in November and markets want another 50 basis point cut,” Kobeissi <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1839644588438392910" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">continued</a> on the topic.&nbsp;
While Kobeissi argued that “did not need a 50 basis point cut in September and does not need another one going forward,” data from CME Group’s <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">FedWatch Tool</a> spelled out market demands.

Popular Bitcoin and crypto trader Skew described the PCE results as “pretty good” for market performance.
“Keeping an eye on yields &amp; $ into week close,” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1839660174791114799" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">told</a> X followers.

Bitcoin itself meanwhile continued to hold key support levels after a slight withdrawal from the two-month highs.

“Price is grinding up against ask liquidity once again with some passive selling into price around $65.8K,” Skew noted in a <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1839633975645729018" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">further X post</a> about trading activity on largest global exchange Binance. Bid liquidity, he added, was shifting toward $63,000 from below.
“So I noted the possibility in prior days about a shift from ask depth to bid depth in spot orderbooks if market remains strong with momentum above $65K,” the post continued.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “We can see some of that taking place here with takers taking ask liquidity from $65K &amp; more passive buyer flow coming into the market.”
</blockquote>
In a potential additional sign of bullish price action to come, Filbfilb, co-founder of trading suite DecenTrader, revealed a “very low” ratio of long to short BTC positions.
Similar conditions, an accompanying chart showed, immediately preceded BTC price upside.
“Im on the view Bitcoin has a particularly familiar bullish smell,” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/filbfilb/status/1839661855049912368" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">concluded</a>, having discussed various other promising indicator data.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “At present, we are technically lacking a higher high that would drive a wedge into those asks where we see if the FOMO can kick in.”
