Bitcoin leads market recovery with 5.5% jump
The latest surge in these altcoins comes as Bitcoin (BTC) hit a high of $64,828 per unit on Saturday, buoyed by comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
During his Jackson Hole speech, Powell suggested potential rate cuts in September. This led to a 5.5% increase in Bitcoin’s value over the last day, contributing to a 3.3% rise in the total cryptocurrency market value, which now stands at $2.36 trillion.
Leena ElDeeb, an analyst at 21Shares, has linked shifts in the M2 money supply—a gauge of global currency circulation—to potential movements in Bitcoin’s price.
In a statement to crypto.news, ElDeeb explained that historically, Bitcoin’s price tends to hit its lowest just months before a bottoming out of the M2 money supply, followed by a rapid increase. This quick increase in price often exceeds the growth in liquidity, leading to what she referred to as a “mid-cycle correction.”
She also highlighted that Bitcoin ETFs have been vital in driving price increases during these cycles of the M2 money supply.
Additionally, on Aug. 23, analysts on platform X noted that the recent rise in altcoin values might represent a short-lived relief rally as Bitcoin’s dominance encounters resistance at a crucial level. They warned that the dominance of Bitcoin appears to remain on an upward trend, indicating that the gains seen in altcoins might be temporary.
