Bitcoin futures have turned bullish ahead of the Fed. Shorts were liquidated above $70K, with new longs building above $73K, signaling traders are positioning for upside.

Positioning confirms the shift. Funding rates flipped positive and buy volume now dominates, with the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio above 1 across BTC and ETH.

But risks are rising. Bitcoin exchange inflows spiked to 6.1K BTC, with 63% from large deposits—a pattern often linked to selling pressure.

Key levels ahead: $75K–$85K, where on-chain realized price bands have historically capped rallies.

Bottom line: Longs are in control—but growing inflows suggest upside may face resistance.
