On September 27, Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed a trading price of $66,500 for the first time since late July, accompanied by bullish sentiments from many investors. However, the cryptocurrency later fell below $64,000.
What Could Drive Bitcoin’s New ATH?
According to Santiment's report, the surge in positive commentary towards BTC occurred after the asset reached $66,500. There were 1.8 bullish BTC posts for every 1 bearish. Most of these comments leaned on the possibility of Bitcoin reaching the $70,000 price mark. However, Santiment believes that Bitcoin could unlock the $70,000 mark if 'the crowd slows down their own expectations.' Historically, markets tend to move in the opposite direction of crowd expectations.
BTC Drops Below $64K
After a bullish weekend, Bitcoin has taken a downturn and is currently trading at $63,500. Earlier today, it sunk to $63,250, the lowest in the past four days. While no specific factor can be pinpointed for this price correction, speculations link the movement to an upcoming speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Earlier this month, the Fed reduced its interest rate to a range of 4.75%-5%, and Powell is expected to discuss this further today.
Market Outlook
Despite Bitcoin's current price drop, the future of the cryptocurrency remains a focal point for market participants and analysts. It is expected that market sentiments and expectations will play a key role in shaping the future price dynamics of BTC.
Thus, while Bitcoin reached short-term highs, investor expectations and Federal Reserve announcements maintain market uncertainty. It is important to monitor market sentiments and economic news to understand the future prospects for Bitcoin's price.
