Bitcoin (BTC) recently halted its losing streak and gained mild bullish traction around $61,500, reaching an intraday high of $62,150, suggesting chances of a bullish Bitcoin price prediction.
This upward trend is linked to softer US macroeconomic data, which increased speculation about an impending Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle this year, prompting a short-covering rally in BTC prices.
Moreover, BTC gained further momentum as Donald Trump extended his lead over Joe Biden in betting markets during the June 27 presidential debate, boosting investor confidence.
However, gains in BTC may be short-lived as Bitcoin ETF outflows hit $1.3 billion, indicating reduced investor interest and potential downward pressure on prices.
