Bitcoin (
$BTC ) surged back above $94,000 during U.S. trading on Tuesday, marking a sharp reversal from recent bearish session patterns just one day before the Federal Reserve’s expected interest rate cut.
After hovering near $90,000 earlier in the day, BTC jumped more than $3,000 in under an hour, gaining roughly 4% in 24 hours. The move caught traders off guard, as U.S. market opens had recently been associated with selling pressure.
📌 What’s Driving the Move?
While no single catalyst explains the sudden spike, several signals suggest a shift in market dynamics:
Traders were positioned heavily defensively in derivatives markets
Recent selling pressure may have reached seller exhaustionSpot buying appears to be driving the move, rather than leverage
According to analysts, crowded bearish positioning may have fueled a rapid short-term snapback rally.

LIVE UPDATE ✅
Analysts note that Bitcoin’s ability to rally during U.S. hours — where it had been selling off for weeks — may indicate a meaningful change in trend behavior.
Despite some prominent long-term bulls lowering extended price forecasts, near-term momentum appears to be shifting back in favor of buyers.
NEW UPDATE 🚨
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points at the conclusion of its meeting on Wednesday.
While markets have largely priced in the decision, traders are watching closely for:
Forward guidance on future cuts
Signals of looser financial conditionsAny language supporting sustained risk appetite
A dovish tone could provide additional upside fuel for BTC and risk assets.
📝 Bottom Line
Bitcoin’s sharp rebound to $94K may be the first real sign that selling pressure is drying up. With defensive positioning, renewed U.S. demand, and a looming Fed rate cut, the setup is becoming more favorable for a short-term continuation — though volatility remains high.
