Bitcoin Soars: New York Stock Exchange Stabilizes, Sending Crypto Prices Surging Above $58,000
Cryptocurrency Market Sees Slight Uptick Ahead of New York Stock Exchange Opening
The cryptocurrency market advanced slightly ahead of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the 12th, continuing the positive trend in the Asian and European time zones. Bitcoin is consolidating above $58,000.
The New York Stock Exchange showed volatility the day before after the announcement of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August, but it closed higher, which is also having a positive effect on the cryptocurrency market sentiment. The New York Stock Exchange stock index futures are also showing a gentle upward trend today. The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate cut next week is certain, and some analysts predict that the Fed will now focus on employment and growth rather than inflation.
There was also news that leverage in the Bitcoin market was increasing again and that some exchanges, such as Coinbase and Kraken, were actively buying at low prices. However, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs turned to net outflows again the previous day, indicating that the market atmosphere has not yet fully recovered. However, the amount of funds that were withdrawn was not large.
Continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election, the possibility of further appreciation of the yen and the potential further unwinding of yen carry trades as a result, and geopolitical tensions are still cited as factors weighing on market sentiment.
The market is awaiting the U.S. producer price index (PPI) for August and the number of initial jobless claims last week, which will be released later this month.
