Institutions Preparing for Q4 Bitcoin Rally
Apart from the Bitcoin ETFs, institutions are now preparing for a strong Bitcoin rally in Q4 amid the global rate cuts. Amid the fresh infusion of liquidity and rate cuts by PBoC, Chinese investors are buying Bitcoins to seek shelter amid their fragile economic conditions. Commenting on the macro development, QCP Capital noted:
“We believe more easing is coming from the PBoC, and they have communicated as much. Combined with the Fed joining the global cutting cycle, all major central banks (except BoJ) are now ready to inject more liquidity into the market”.
However, this liquidity flush can trigger a ‘volatility supercycle’ with Arhurs Hayes betting on a Bitcoin price rally ahead. BTC “is the most technically sound way in this modern digital world to balance the profligacy of the ruling elite,” he wrote.
