Positive Inflation Data Brings Optimism Back

The positive inflation data has eased fears of rising inflation, reflected in market prices. Negative sentiment has shifted to optimism, and last week’s market movement now appears to have been an overreaction. However, the risk of recurring inflation remains, although it currently seems less relevant.

Inflation Fears Weigh on the Crypto Market

The expectation for two interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve in 2025 has now been adjusted to just one. Lower rates benefit financial markets, so the news was met with a negative reaction.

2024 was predominantly the year of Bitcoin

As expected, most market participants are busy with the holiday season, reflected in the low trading volumes. This trend will likely persist until the start of the new year. The red figures can be attributed to investors locking in their annual gains, but this doesn’t apply to companies holding bitcoin as a long-term reserve.

Will It Be a Green Christmas?

The Federal Reserve's announcement to slow down the pace of interest rate cuts next year was met with negative reactions across financial markets. Given the robust state of the U.S. economy, this reaction seems more like an overreaction. Will the crypto market recover during Christmas and turn green?

Bitcoin Reaches €100,000 Milestone

In the short term, price movements may appear turbulent, particularly among altcoins. However, this volatility is not reflected in the continued capital inflows into U.S. crypto ETFs, signaling confidence from traditional investors in the long term, even during uncertain times.

Bitcoin Breaks the $100,000 Barrier

Bitcoin’s pause below $100,000 offers altcoins a chance to shine. Interestingly, many of the best-performing assets are those that excelled during the previous cycle. A likely explanation is the return of investors who were active at that time and are reinvesting in familiar assets.

Wall Street Veteran Plans Bitcoin Lending Program

Despite a record week of inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin has yet to break the $100,000 barrier. This pause allows various altcoins to gain momentum. Additionally, Cantor Fitzgerald’s plans for a Bitcoin lending program highlight the increasing integration of crypto into the traditional financial sector.

Bitcoin Closing in on $100,000

The launch of Bitcoin options marks another step toward Bitcoin’s maturity as an asset class. The sustained interest in Bitcoin is evident in the growing crypto ETF products. MicroStrategy’s commitment to Bitcoin is clear, and Michael Saylor’s recent purchase speaks volumes. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price continues to climb toward $100,000.

Bitcoin Breaks Records

Bitcoin’s rise past its previous all-time high of $74,000 marks the start of a new upward trend. Altcoins are also following suit, though prices won’t rise in a straight line. We can expect significant volatility in the coming months. Bitcoin’s recognition as a serious asset class is evident from the strong interest from investors and BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund catching up with their gold fund.

Bitcoin sets new record high in euros

The high interest in spot bitcoin ETFs over the past month is reflected in the price. It seems only a matter of time before we see new record highs in U.S. dollars. Although recent price gains don’t guarantee a breakout from the price range where Bitcoin has been trading since March, the outlook is positive.

New all-time high is still to come

After a period of price increases and a 7-day streak of positive inflows into U.S. spot ETFs, bitcoin seems to be taking a breather. While the market seems to be cooling off, the bigger picture remains positive. The overall adoption of crypto continues to grow, with stablecoins finding their way into the traditional financial system. Whether it's regulation, political agendas, or technological innovations, it's clear that crypto is here to stay.

Crypto products popular among ETF investors

While the positive employment figures from two weeks ago signaled strength, the disappointing inflation figures do not signal weakness. Bitcoin is moving towards the top of the price range we've been in since March this year. Interest in crypto among ETF investors is clearly visible, as confirmed by Charles Schwab’s research and data. In recent days, over $1 billion has flowed into spot Bitcoin ETFs, while the inflow for spot Ether ETFs remains low.

US economy on track for a soft landing

Employment and inflation data are crucial economic indicators for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. To achieve the desired soft landing, inflation must decrease, and unemployment should not rise. The positive employment figures contribute to achieving this goal and suggest that the US economy is not weakening.

October kicks off red due to geopolitical tensions

Geopolitical tensions are causing unrest among investors. Falling prices and liquidations of futures positions are increasing selling pressure within the crypto market. We saw a similar situation in April this year with tensions between Iran and Israel. After a rapid price drop, the market recovered in the following weeks. If the situation doesn't escalate further, we might see a similar scenario

Is the interest rate cut the trigger for the resumption of the bull market?

The market appears to be in a holding pattern, both in terms of news and price developments. However, behind the scenes, we see fundamental progress that will become more apparent in a bullish market. Chainalysis data on crypto adoption supports this, and the global increase in legal protections for companies active in this space is another important signal.
