Bitcoin makes swift moves as analysts expect the Fed to continue its money-printing in wake of more stimulus. This creates a more favorable position for Bitcoin as analysts hint at higher targets above $16,000.
In a sudden surge, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved 5% north moving above $14,500 levels for the first time since January 2018. With this move, Bitcoin has also extended its weekly gains above 10%.
The recent price surge comes as more clarity emerges with the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election. Bitcoin and the overall crypto market remained volatile on Wednesday after all the election drama. Even now, volatility seems to remain as Bitcoin sustained the $14,500+ levels for a very short time.
At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at a price of $14397 with a market cap of $266 billion. With this move, Bitcoin has extended its market dominance to 65%. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has been making consecutive throughout the month of October. Over the last month, the BTC price has gained over 30% to date. Besides, there’s a massive money flow from big institutional players as well as from the DeFi market that registered major correction.
Also with the current levels, Bitcoin has delivered over 100% year-to-date returns. Well, market analysts are suggesting that the Federal Reserve will continue to print money even after the election results. Thus, with the likelihood of inflation catching up in a short time, this will ultimately benefit Bitcoin.
