Bitcoin (BTC) regained momentum during the weekend and started climbing from the $56,000 price zone to the current $63,585.22, after a nearly 12% increase during this period.
Bitcoin (BTC) started the week trading at $63,585.22, following a nearly 12% increase over the weekend. The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization rose from the $56,000 price zone on Monday.
After a 25.2% correction that lasted 42 days, BTC might be preparing for a new all-time high in 2024, according to the trader known as Rekt Capital.
Meanwhile, the completion of repayments to Mt. Gox creditors and the end of the BTC liquidation by the German government could indicate that the worst correction of the current period is over, according to Hank Wyatt, founder of DiamondSwap.
“These events had exerted significant downward pressure, but with them mostly behind us, Bitcoin has the potential to trade within a higher range, assuming no new macroeconomic disruptions happen,” Wyatt added in an email to Crypto Briefing.
James Davies, Founder and CPO of CVEX, also highlighted that Bitcoin started rebounding after the German government was done selling its BTC holdings. Despite the claims that the Trump incident was the major factor behind the price growth during the weekend, Davies points out that the upward movement started before that.
“The rally started earlier and was even more pronounced during Asian trading hours. In my view, this suggests the rebound is a return to fair value, as the market was temporarily oversold due to insufficient liquidity to absorb the temporary sell pressure,” he added.
Mehdi Lebbar, co-founder and president of Exponential.fi, also believes that the market is looking bullish on Bitcoin after the German government depleted its Bitcoin stash. Furthermore, since the repayment of Mt. Gox’s creditors happened 10 days ago, Lebbar adds that the market can assume that the ones who needed to realize profits have already done so.
Stuck until the first rate cut?
Although Bitcoin has reclaimed important price levels, the market expects that the largest crypto by market cap will still trade within its previous range between $65,000 and $71,000 for the next few weeks. The first rate cut from the Fed, set to happen in September, could be able to break this range.
Hank Wyatt, from DiamondSwap, shares this market expectation, adding that it could serve as a catalyst for Bitcoin to surpass its previous all-time high.
“Lower interest rates generally reduce the appeal of fiat currencies and more traditional investments, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, if the rate cut does not materialize, continued volatility and consolidation may still occur as the market adjusts its expectations and seeks new drivers for upward movement,” added Wyatt.
