Last week, the cryptocurrency market saw significant growth as Bitcoin rose 10.48% to reach $69,000. Analytics firm QCP Capital highlights key factors that contributed to this rise.
Bitcoin's Rise and Its Causes
According to QCP Capital, one of the main drivers of Bitcoin's growth has been significant inflows into BTC ETFs. The company's ETF recorded $203.3 million in inflows, emphasizing strong institutional demand. Additionally, the SEC's approval for BTC ETF options listing on the NYSE is expected to provide the liquidity needed for sustained investment inflows.
Bitcoin's Market Dominance
Bitcoin's market dominance has reached a high of 58%, not seen since April 2021. QCP Capital notes that Bitcoin is approaching a key resistance level with 60% dominance, which could pave the way for a recovery in Layer 1 (L1) cryptocurrencies.
Impact of Global Economic Factors
In the global economy, Japan's inflation rate decreased to 2.5% from 3.0%, with forecasts indicating the Bank of Japan is unlikely to raise interest rates soon. This contributes to a rally in USD/JPY, trading below 150. Additionally, risk sentiment has increased with U.S. elections approaching, benefiting risk assets.
QCP Capital emphasizes that strong institutional interest and favorable external economic factors support further Bitcoin growth and overall cryptocurrency market stability.
