By Thursday morning, Bitcoin (BTC) was up by 0.71% for the day, remaining in the $123K range but making slow progress back toward a recent all-time high.
Bitcoin gained 2.21% over the last week, falling slightly from a new high and holding onto a level well above where it has been for the past few weeks. The coin hit $123,745 (BTC/USD) on Thursday morning and then started to lose value as investors sold off their coins.
BTC/USDBitcoin is only one of the crypto tokens enjoying a surge throughout the cryptocurrency market. The surge has been sparked by a stock rally, the recent interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve, and economic stability that is better than expected at this point in the year.
Why Bitcoin Could Set a New High Soon
The crypto market is still bullish even after falling slightly from its early week highs. We can attribute the elevated Bitcoin and other crypto prices to a strong economy. Typically, we see the economy tighten in September, but this year, the opposite happened. We actually saw the stock market grow to all-time highs, fueled by growth in retail sectors and especially in the AI market.
We may be seeing some of the steam release from the crypto bull market, though, with XRP shedding investors quickly this week. That coin jumped to third place in cryptocurrency market capitalization rankings but has since lost much of its recent support.
Bitcoin, however, is bound to have longer legs. The BTC price is elevated compared to where it was throughout much of August and September, and it could be establishing a higher support level now. Bitcoin has lost very little of its recent gains, which indicate that it could be preparing to climb much higher. It helps that the stock market remains elevated and is near all-time highs as well, and the Federal Reserve could benefit Bitcoin with new interest rate cuts in near future.
Overall market sentiment on Bitcoin is incredibly bullish, and we anticipate that this positive sentiment will continue throughout the rest of the week. Investors should prepare for another surge and a new record high very soon.
