Soaring Bitcoin Reaches New Peaks - What Comes After This Apex?
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin continues to make headlines. Here's a roundup of the current situation and the factors influencing its price.
Present Scenario
Bitcoin's current price hovers around $115,181 USD, and the market sentiment remains neutrally bullish, with a Fear & Greed Index score of 60 (Greed). This indicates a positive outlook but also highlights potential volatility.
Factors Shaping Bitcoin's Price
Monetary Policy
The monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve plays a crucial role in determining Bitcoin's short-term fate. A decline in interest rates can boost Bitcoin by reducing borrowing costs and increasing market liquidity. Recent indications of potential interest rate declines have contributed to bullish predictions for Bitcoin. Any dovish stance by the Federal Reserve, such as reducing interest rates or stopping rate hikes, could support Bitcoin's price by making it more attractive relative to traditional assets.
Economic and Regulatory Factors
Increased institutional investment in Bitcoin, partly due to regulatory changes, has been a significant driver of its price growth. Positive regulatory developments can increase investor confidence and encourage more institutional involvement, potentially boosting Bitcoin's price. Companies and sovereign funds currently hold over 17 percent of the total Bitcoin supply.
Short-Term Price Forecasts
Despite potential volatility, Bitcoin is expected to see steady gains. By the end of August 2025, forecasts suggest a potential price of around $130,000, driven by improving investor sentiment and a bullish market structure. However, short-term price fluctuations are possible, and market conditions and external factors can quickly change sentiment and price movements.
Notable Developments
- Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains strong, with over $3.6 billion in inflows to Bitcoin spot ETFs last month.
- Long-term investors view Bitcoin as a core portfolio component, according to Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets, who also predicts an upward trend for Bitcoin to continue for the rest of the year.
- The Bitcoin Direct ETP and Ethereum Direct ETP from NxtAssets allow investors to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum without a wallet, making investments as simple as buying a stock. These ETPs can be purchased through a provided link.
It's worth noting that Börsenmedien AG, the publisher of this article, indirectly holds a stake in the company nxtAssets GmbH, which is the issuer of the Bitcoin Direct ETP and Ethereum Direct ETP. Also, Mr. Bernd Förtsch, the management and majority shareholder of Börsenmedien AG, has positions in Bitcoin - United States Dollar.
Bitcoin's price is increasingly reacting to macroeconomic factors, as highlighted by DER AKTIONÄR. The recent breaking of Bitcoin's previous all-time high, reaching $124,000, is a testament to this trend.
