Bitcoin Price Reaches New All-Time High Above $123,000
TradingView data shows that the BTC price has broken above its previous ATH at around $123,000, rallying to a new ATH of $124,400 in the process. The flagship crypto is up over 2% on the day, rising from an intraday high of $118,939.
This comes just about a month after the Bitcoin price reached its previous high of $123,091. The flagship crypto had reached that milestone back in July, ahead of the ‘Crypto Week’ which ushered in the GENIUS, the first major crypto legislation in the U.S.
CoinGape had earlier reported that BTC was eyeing a new all-time high ahead of the U.S. CPI and PPI data this week. The CPI data came in at 2.7%, lower than expectations, which was a positive for the flagship crypto. Meanwhile, the PPI data is also expected to show that inflation in the U.S. is still steady.
As such, traders are now pricing a 25 basis points Fed rate cut in September, which has contributed to the Bitcoin price rally. A rate cut is bullish as it would inject more liquidity into the crypto market and boost risk-on sentiment. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also raised the possibility of a 50 bps, which would be massive for BTC and other crypto assets.
It remains to be seen if the flagship crypto will enter into price discovery following its rally to a new ATH or if it will witness a healthy retrace. Meanwhile, other crypto assets have rallied alongside BTC. Notably, ETH is up over 28% in the last seven days and is now close to its ATH of $4,891.
Implications Of The New ATH
With the Bitcoin price rally to a new ATH, BTC is again the sixth-largest asset by market, ahead of Google and Amazon’s stocks. Meanwhile, the only assets ahead of the flagship crypto are Gold, along with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple’s stocks.
Meanwhile, thanks to the surge, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings have reached a new ATH in terms of value. The company’s co-founder pointed out earlier today that their BTC holdings closed at an all-time high of $77.2 billion.
