Key Points:

• A recent analysis suggests that Bitcoin might see a bullish trend following the Fed’s decision to maintain interest rates, referencing historical patterns.

• Potential upward momentum for BTC/USD could increase if Binance experiences a drop in open interest.

• The analysis highlights order book liquidity, predicting shorter timeframes to reach $106,000.

According to the report, Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to reflect a strong trend as the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates settles in.

Cryptoquant’s latest analysis offers insights into Bitcoin’s price movements, suggesting an opportunity for growth.

Bitcoin Benefits from Fed Policy, Binance Trends

Citing historical data, Cryptoquant indicated that Bitcoin has typically thrived during periods when the Fed opts to keep rates steady, with 2025 potentially being a particularly favorable year.

The recent FOMC meeting emphasized maintaining current fee levels, which the market appears to be interpreting as a signal for the upcoming quarter.

Contributor AMR Taha noted that the interaction between Bitcoin’s price and Binance’s open interest presents a complex scenario. Open interest refers to the total derivative contracts that traders hold.

Taha observed that Bitcoin has consistently maintained a strong base above $104,000, creating a solid demand zone even amidst selling pressure.

“Conversely, open interest on Binance has been marked by a series of declines, indicating a general pullback in the derivatives market.”

Despite challenges in price support, the combination of decreasing open interest and stable Fed policies usually bolsters the case for a Bitcoin rally.

“This pause in rate hikes aligns with other macroeconomic indicators that can often serve as a tailwind for assets like Bitcoin,” concluded the analysis.

“Historically, BTC has tended to trend positively following stabilized rates, especially when accompanied by signs of liquidation fatigue.”
