The post Top Reasons Why Bitcoin (BTC) Price is Poised for a Breakout in the Next Few Hours appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The crypto markets are bracing up for the next price action. The bulls and bears exerted enough pressure on the Bitcoin price, wherein the bulls turned out to be victorious. As a result, the star token surged and entered the crucial resistance for the second time in the past 30 days. The u-shaped recovery suggests the bulls are on track to push the BTC price to a new ATH and here are the top reasons why a crypto bull run is on the horizon.
Tether Mints $3B USDT
Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, has just minted billions worth of USDT, sending shockwaves throughout the crypto market. Historically, large USDT mints have coincided with increased liquidity in the markets, which acts as a bullish catalyst. More USDT means more capital available to be deployed into Bitcoin and altcoins. This injection of liquidity amplifies buying pressure, driving the market higher.
As per the data, Tether has minted another billion USDT in the past 24 hours, which brings the total to $3 billion in the past 4 days. The probability of a strong upswing is just a speculation, as it occurred in the past. Not all the minted USDT immediately enters circulation, as a significant portion may be held in Tether’s treasury as inventory before being released to exchanges. Hence, the impact on Bitcoin and other altcoins depends on how quickly this liquidity is deployed.
FED Rate Cuts on the Horizon
Fed rate cuts have reliably acted as rocket fuel for crypto, as seen in late 2024 when dovish policy coincided with surging BTC & ETH prices. Currently, ETF flows and trading volume are up, but with the Fed holding steady and inflation sticky, bulls appear to be more cautious. Bitcoin has surged with a huge double-digit margin in both October and November following September rate cut.
As seen in the above chart, the last time the Fed made a rate cut in September 2024, the market surged by 75%, while the BTC price jumped by nearly 100%. The BTC price is currently consolidating within a tight range but continues to possess massive bullish momentum. In such a time, another rate cut is expected to propel the markets high. However, the price further faced a huge pullback and hence the investors are expected to remain cautious.
Wrapping it up!
Still, the timing is critical. With Bitcoin hovering near key resistance levels and investors eyeing potential macroeconomic catalysts like interest rate cuts, the $3B USDT mint could act as the spark that pushes BTC into its next breakout. Conversely, if market sentiment shifts or regulatory fears return, this new liquidity could heighten volatility and lead to sharper price swings in either direction.
