Trader Notes: Bitcoin is attempting to break through an important trend line, and closing today above $61,500 could signal the resumption of the bull market. However, according to crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez, if Bitcoin fails to close above this level, another drop could follow.

The Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis points cut on Wednesday, making risk assets such as cryptocurrency more attractive. However, the central bank also stated that 50bps rate cuts should not be seen as the norm going forward.

The statement also highlighted that the labor market bears close watching, with Powell adding that there is more ground to cover before discussing pausing rate cuts.

Cryptocurrency markets have been closely following the stock market today, with both showing slight gains after the FOMC statement.

According to Benzinga Pro, Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume is up 3% at $33.8 billion, while open interest has increased by 4% since the FOMC number was released.

Both long and short trade plans are still active.
