Key points:

• The Fed rate-cut decision begins to show in cooling US stocks’ performance.

Bitcoin (BTC) tested key resistance on Tuesday, with traders bullish on BTC price upside.

Bitcoin price teases new highs next

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed Bitcoin acting around $114,000.

After an impressive weekly close, BTC/USD consolidated gains during Monday’s Wall Street trading session.

Now, trader and analyst Rekt Capital had two important support levels for bulls to reclaim: the 21-week exponential moving average (EMA) at $111,200 and $114,500 weekly close.

“Bitcoin has successfully Weekly Closed above both the 21-week EMA (green) and $114.5k (black),” he told X followers alongside a chart.

“Both $114.5k & EMA could get retested to confirm a reclaim to support. $BTC could achieve this via a volatile retest of $114.5k, wicking into the EMA below.”

Rekt Capital subsequently confirmed that the required retest was now “in progress.”

“$BTC bounced back from its $113,500 support zone,” crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows added on the day.

“As long as Bitcoin holds this, we are going higher. If BTC loses this level, expect a correction towards the $110,000 level.”

Furthering the bulls’ cause was a hidden bullish divergence playing out on the low-time frame relative strength index (RSI).

The hourly chart showed RSI making a lower low while price sealed a potential higher low — an early signal that a short-term uptrend could continue.

As Cointelegraph reported, the higher-time frame RSI indicates trend exhaustion, with the indicator making successive lower highs while the price sets records.

Pillows also noted that BTC/USD often puts in a local low on Tuesdays, leaving the door open for the support retest to continue.

$BTC usually peaks on Monday and bottoms on Tuesday.

This has been happening for a few months now.

Considering the broader picture, however, trading resource Mosaic Asset Company had little reason to doubt the risk-asset bull case.

“Evidence of economic growth is boosting the earnings outlook while loose financial conditions is a catalyst for more growth,” it wrote Sunday in the latest edition of its regular newsletter, “The Market Mosaic.” 

“The prospect of the Fed cutting interest rates into a strong economic backdrop and already loose conditions is more fuel for the stock market rally.”
