Bitcoin has moved above $94,000 after staying in a tight range for more than seven weeks. The breakout has shifted market focus to higher levels, with $105,000 to $106,000 now being watched.

The breakout, marked by increased trading activity, pushed Bitcoin sharply higher, reaching $96,800, a two-month high. At press time, the asset traded at around $95,000, indicating a more than 3% increase in the past 34 hours.

Bitcoin Escapes 54-Day Flat Trend

Crypto Patel, a market analyst, shared a chart showing that BTC had broken past a key resistance level near $94,000. This level had held the price down for 54 days. Once the breakout occurred, Bitcoin climbed quickly, suggesting strong buying interest.

The $94,000 level has now become a key support. If Bitcoin stays above this zone, the next target is between $105,000 and $106,000. This range has acted as resistance in past market cycles. The move also confirms a bullish reversal pattern, which had formed during the earlier consolidation phase.

Big Buyers Return on Policy Shift

Data shared by CryptosRus shows that large spot orders began to appear around the $90,000 mark.

This activity is happening while the US continues to work on market regulation rules. As new policies around Bitcoin become clearer, some bigger investors are starting to buy. These investors tend to build positions early, before wider retail interest appears. The current price action shows demand from long-term capital rather than short-term traders.

Despite this, some blockchain data is showing early warning signs from long-term Bitcoin holders. The SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) for this group has dropped below 1.0. This means that some are starting to sell at a loss.

In the past year, wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have sold about 220,000 coins. That amount is worth over $20 billion. A shift of this size could affect short-term price movements, especially if more holders follow.

Price Hits Two-Month High After US Policy News

Bitcoin’s climb above $96,000 followed US economic news, including a call by President Trump for lower interest rates after a soft inflation report.

At the same time, Bitcoin held by companies has increased. According to Glassnode, corporate holdings grew from around 854,000 BTC to 1.11 million BTC over the last six months. This shows a steady rise in balance sheet exposure to the cryptocurrency.

However, some analysts note that retail buyers have not returned in force. IT Tech posted,

The 30-day change in demand from small buyers is still negative. Without this group, moves higher may face more pressure during pullbacks.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
