He pointed to “pretty decent bid depth and liquidity just below $115,000”. In his view, that level could prove decisive for bitcoin’s next move.
Ahead of the 17 September Fed meeting, traders remain cautious on the near-term outlook. The analyst known as Rekt Capital stressed that sustained upside requires reclaiming $114,000.
The goal isn’t for Bitcoin to break $117k in the short-term
The goal is for Bitcoin to reclaim $114k into support first
Because that’s what would enable the premium-buying necessary to get price above $117k later on$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin

“The point is not for bitcoin to break $117,000 in the short term. The main goal is to turn $114,000 into support. That would create the conditions for the active buying needed for a further rally,” he wrote.
He called a weekly close above $114,000 a “bullish” signal.
Bitcoin has likely put in a local bottom
The analyst known as Mr. Wall Street said bitcoin reached a local bottom around $107,000 a few weeks ago.

He said a “golden cross” appeared on the daily MACD as MVRV fell to its low. In the current cycle, that combination has occurred three times.
“The last time was when bitcoin was at $76,000 during the panic over Trump tariffs. […] The two indicators also fired at $49,000 on the day of the Japanese yen crash and at $16,000–18,000 amid the FTX bankruptcy,” the analyst explained.
Mr. Wall Street added that such a signal often precedes a 30–40% advance. He expects the next target to be $140,000–150,000, while stressing that much will depend on the FOMC decision and remarks by Fed chair Jerome Powell.
At present, 100% of market participants expect the policy rate to be cut by at least 0.25 percentage points.
At the time of writing, bitcoin trades around $116,400, up 0.5% over the past 24 hours.
