Bitcoin Retest of $120,000 Is ‘Within Sight’: Bitbank

It could take a week for Bitcoin traders to fully digest the impact of the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut in 9 months, according to Bitbank analyst Yuya Hasegawa. “With risk-on sentiment persisting after the FOMC, this improvement in technical sentiment is seen as an additional tailwind [for Bitcoin], putting a test of $120,000 within sight,” wrote the Tokyo-based analyst in a note shared with Decrypt. “Should BTC successfully break above $120,000, a full retracement may finally come into focus. The market will digest the result for probably a week or so and go back to normal, focussing back on inflation and rate cuts.”
