A Christmas Rally And Other Major Factors Set Bitcoin Price ATH
Bitcoin Price Set For New ATH
Fed Plans Three Rate Cuts in 2024
Firstly, Traders, retail investors and institutional investors are now confident about their next move as the U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged in the FOMC meeting. Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced the intention for three rate cuts in 2024, as inflation cools gradually towards the 2% target.
Crypto expert and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggests there is no excuse not to be long on crypto. He reiterates that Bitcoin price will hit $1 million and cited a Bloomberg report on traders going all in response to the monetary policy pivot in 2024.
“How many more times must they tell you that the fiat in your pocket is a filthy piece of trash. Believe in the Lord, and he shall set you free,” said Arthur Hayes.
US Treasury Yield and Dollar Fell
Secondly, 10-year US Treasuries yield fell below 4% for the first time since August, renewing the bullish sentiment. Moreover, the US dollar index (DXY) fell to 102.28 as the central bank turns dovish despite inflation still above the 2% target.
Bitcoin price moves in opposite direction to US Treasuries yield and US dollar. Thus, the sentiment for $50k remains higher.
Bitcoin Halving and Coinbase Premium Gap
Bitcoin halving is now just few months away and investors are bullish enough to take every buy-the-dip opportunity. According to the NiceHash countdown, the Bitcoin halving is estimated to happen on April 12, 2024. The mining reward will be reduced to 3.125 BTC. Matrixport Research predicted BTC price hitting $60,000 before Bitcoin halving.
On-chain data is bullish and crypto exchange volumes are also rising. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index indicates strong buying pressure on Coinbase. Also, Bitcoin open interest (OI) on top derivatives exchanges CME and Binance are rising again. Traders are going long on cryptocurrencies. However, traders can expect volatility in the coming days.
Spot Bitcoin ETF Hype And Institutional Buying
There’s high anticipation of Spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the US SEC in January as the deadline nears. Moreover, rising digital asset inflows confirm a massive buying by institutional investors, assuring an upcoming rally in Bitcoin price.
The crypto market could also see improving regulatory clarity, lawsuits and other conflict will fade gradually. The SEC Chair Gary Gensler revealed that they are in talks with Bitcoin ETF issuers.
