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.
