Bitcoin (BTC), having reached a new all-time high, is showing signs of consolidation for further growth. Analysts note the rise in demand from institutional investors, which may signal a positive shift for BTC prices.
Historical Peak of Bitcoin
On July 14, Bitcoin surpassed $123,000, setting a new all-time high. Since then, BTC has climbed above $120,000 several times but failed to maintain that level, raising questions about its future dynamics.
Institutional Buying on Coinbase
Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards reported that institutional transaction volume for Bitcoin on Coinbase reached 75%. This significant volume increase may herald price growth for BTC in the near future. Edwards noted that such high figures usually precede price increases for Bitcoin about a week later.

Interest Rate Outlook
Edwards also pointed to the influence of inflation data and future interest rate changes. Given that inflation aligns with expectations, the likelihood of rate cuts could seriously support risk assets like Bitcoin.

The rise in institutional Bitcoin purchases and the expected changes in interest rates may indicate improved market conditions for BTC. Analysis shows that Bitcoin continues to attract investor interest, presenting opportunities for further growth.
