Bitcoin (BTC) Price Action Has Been Resilient This Week and Remained Above $60K Despite Massive Losses in U.S. Equities

Besides, tailwinds are beginning to align in the second half of 2024 and could tip BTC to a new all-time high.

Bitcoin (BTC) price remained above the $60K mark on 21 July, largely unfazed by the losses in U.S. equities. Several tailwinds were aligning in the second half of 2024 that could propel BTC to new all-time highs.

After being stuck within the $60K—$71K range since March, BTC’s sideways movement might finally be coming to an end. As per market analyst Rekt Capital, if historical data were to be taken into account, a potential breakout from the $60K—$71K range in September was likely.

“If history repeats, a Bitcoin breakout from the Re-Accumulation Range would occur in September 2024.”

This projection was based on the sideways movement that occurs after the halving event. If the historical trend repeats, this consolidation period could end in September.

Further supporting the above break-out prospect for the bulls was an uptick in stablecoins growth, which dropped significantly in H1 2024.

“Stablecoin inflows into the #crypto markets are positive again! This is a very bullish development, historically aligning with #Bitcoin rallies.”

The stablecoin growth signaled that market players could be positioning themselves for bids as the market sentiment improved.

All eyes are set on September for a likely Fed rate cut. Over 90% interest rate traders expect the Fed to keep the rate unchanged during the next Fed decision at the end of July. In September, odds of rate cuts stood at 93%.

The rate cuts could fuel BTC. Further BTC rallies would be possible if Donald Trump, a pro-crypto candidate, wins the US presidential elections in November.

However, a September rate cut was not that obvious.

According to a Bloomberg report, Trump had warned Fed chair Jerome Powell not to cut rates before November to avoid giving Biden an upper hand.

“The Fed should abstain from cutting rates before the November election and giving the economy, and Biden, a boost.”

It remains to be seen whether Powell will take the warning seriously and dent market expectations.

Meanwhile, despite the resilient price action, the market remained bullish, with $100K per BTC price targets by the end of the year, according to QCP Capital analysts.

“Even with lower spot overnight, we continued to see sizeable institutional interest in Dec $100k Calls. This signals an even stronger conviction of a year-end rally as the odds of a Trump victory increases.”
