HTX Chief Analyst Cloud: Bitcoin likely to keep ranging before Fed decision, $80,000 lower bound may be tested first

Bollcoin, October 21 – Bitcoin has been stuck in the $80,000–$84,000 range for the past two weeks. HTX Chief Analyst Cloud believes this is essentially two forces canceling each other out: ETFs saw net outflows for two consecutive weeks, while exchange balances kept flowing out and long-term holders only took modest profits. In the week before the Fed's rate decision, Bitcoin will most likely continue to wait within the range. CME prices only a 16% chance of an October hike, yet economists generally see it as close to a coin flip—this gap between pricing and disagreement keeps capital from betting early.
