Uptober underway: Bitcoin closes in on 7-week high at $120K
Bitcoin has surged by 4% to reach $119,450, marking its highest price in seven weeks as October's historically bullish trends take effect. This increase has prompted the total cryptocurrency market capitalization to rise by 3.5% to $4.16 trillion. Bitcoin has surpassed previous resistance levels and now faces the next hurdle at the $120,000 mark. Analysts suggest that the recent rise in Bitcoin's value is linked to expectations of potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, as signs of weakness in the labor market could lead to shifts in monetary policy. Additionally, the CME futures market predicts a 99% chance of a 0.25% rate cut in the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. Other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin, have also reported significant increases, indicating an overall positive market sentiment as October, historically favorable for Bitcoin, commences.
