Introduction:

In the world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin faces a shift in price action as $30 million worth of long positions get trimmed ahead of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech. Liquidations totaling $29.88 million on longs and $3.87 million on shorts have marked the past 24 hours. As Bitcoin navigates this volatility, attention turns to potential movements in the broader crypto market, including Ethereum and Solana, amidst changing conditions and key resistance levels.

BITCOIN:

Ahead of the speech by the Fed Chairman, Bitcoin price action trims $30 million longs.

Over the past 24 hours, liquidations have been made on bitcoin longs totaling $29.88 million and shorts at $3.87 million.

BTC is anticipated to start a small rally to the next liquidity pool at about $26,800 once the downside liquidity has been cleared.

The September 28 statement by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell may cause volatility in the cryptocurrency markets.

The movement of the Bitcoin (BTC) price over the weekend remained largely consistent, but volatility increased toward the weekend’s close. BTC lost 2.61% of its value in six hours, resulting in millions of liquidations. However, based on the most recent movement, the flush of long holdings could result in a slight rise.
