What’s Driving BTC’s Recent Rally

According to Bitfinex analysts, there are four main factors driving the latest Bitcoin rally. Analysts cited the upcoming Bitcoin halving, the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, El Salvador’s growing Bitcoin bet, and the possibility of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in 2024.

“The Bitcoin halving, expected in April 2024, has traditionally led to a rise in prices due to a decrease in the supply of new coins. This event is associated with a supply shortage, pushing prices higher. The fact that the highest supply is currently inactive Combined with this, statistics, especially for long-term holders, show that this effect is already being seen,” Bitfinex analysts said in a note to The Block.

Analysts added that approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF could open the door to a surge in institutional investment. “The potential impact of institutional funds on the price of Bitcoin could be significant. Additionally, the ETF is expected to become active several months after approval, which means the window for speculation increases following such bullish announcements,” Bitfinex said. the analyst said. he said

Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador and further adoption by other countries or major corporations could also strengthen the digital asset’s value and credibility, according to Bitfinex. “Argentina’s election of a head of state who supports Bitcoin is the biggest step forward for an economy struggling with inflation,” the analysts added.

Lastly, the Bitfinex note said that if central banks start cutting interest rates globally, it could make riskier asset classes like cryptocurrencies more attractive. “Monetary policy, cryptocurrency price trends and monetary policy are very highly correlated in 2022-23,” Bitfinex analysts said.
