Bitcoin recovers to $100K as expectations for Fed rate cuts rise
Expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates have driven the price recovery of Bitcoin above $100,000. After the announcement of the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) being lower than expected, the probability of the Fed cutting rates by 25 basis points increased to 98%, leading to investor confidence. Bitcoin rose 3% in the hours following, surpassing the $101,000 mark. This price increase occurred after a 10% correction from the record high of $103,918, but the CEO of CryptoQuant still believes that this correction may remain limited due to demand from ETF funds and accumulation by institutions. Bitcoin's price increase also led to the rise of other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum and XRP.
