Bitcoin nears $64K as crypto market rallies

Bitcoin Surges Amid Market Optimism

Bitcoin's price neared $64,000, driven by positive macroeconomic factors and increased investor interest. The cryptocurrency market experienced a broad rally, with altcoins and memecoins also seeing significant gains.

  • Bitcoin briefly crossed $64,000, extending weekly gains to 10%.
  • U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cut and Bank of Japan's hold boosted risk assets.
  • Open interest in Bitcoin futures jumped by nearly $5 billion since Tuesday.
  • Altcoins and memecoins surge, with Solana, Ethereum, and Bonk leading gains.
  • Traders warn rally could be short-lived due to economic and geopolitical concerns.

The US 2Y/10Y treasury spread, an indicator of recession, has been inverted since July 2022 but has recently steepened to +8bps. This reflects market optimism and a shift towards risk-on assets.

While the current rally shows strong market sentiment, some traders caution that economic slowdown and geopolitical uncertainties could limit long-term cryptocurrency price gains.
