Macroeconomic policies in the U.S. and Japan have triggered Bitcoin bullish moves. The orange coinâs price jumped this week after interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Since the U.S. Fedâs interest rate cut decision, Bitcoin gained over 11% by the end of the week, pushing the price above $62,000 for the first time in September.
On September 18, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered its interest rate by 50 basis points, the first cut since the COVID-19 pandemic. This move, aimed at curbing rising inflation, triggered a surge in Bitcoinâs price, with BTC gaining 4.26% last Wednesday.
Two days after the Fedâs decision, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced it was maintaining its interest rate at 0.25%. The BOJâs governor noted the central bank wants to see the effects of global economic uncertainties before making any changes.
