In its history, Bitcoin has shown a strong correlation with macro indicators. Sean McNulty, director of trading at liquidity provider Arbelos Markets told Bloomberg:

“Bitcoin’s correlation with monetary policy continues to be highest with respect to the Fed. Other central banks easing certainly helps too.”

Some market analysts also believe that the $65,000 level could prove to be a bit stuck considering Friday’s Bitcoin options expiry. Later today, $5.8 billion worth of Bitcoin options are set to expire with a put call ratio of 0.64 showing that bulls are dominating the expiry. Chris Newhouse, director of research at Cumberland Labs said:

“We’re at $65,000 levels now, and slowly testing higher, either we break out and maintain that as a new level of price discovery, or we don’t break higher and see a sharp decline.”

Crypto analytics platform Santiment reported that this is the first time since August 1st that BTC price has surged past the $65,000 mark. A key factor behind the price surge has been consistent accumulation by large holders, including whales and sharks. Over the past six months, wallets holding 10 or more BTC have amassed a total of $4.08 billion worth of Bitcoin, helping to prevent any sustained downturns in the market.

Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflows Pick Up amid BTC Price Surge

The Ark Invest Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) led the club with $113 million in inflows, followed by BlackRock’s IBIT which saw $93 million in inflows. Also, the trading volume for IBIT was at a staggering $1.52 billion.

Following the global rate cuts, investors have turned bullish expecting the BTC price to surge to $100K and beyond in Q4. BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes stated that a volatility supercycle could lead to a major BTC rally ahead.
