Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC trades above $118,000 as Fed rate cut optimism fuels risk-on sentiment
Bitcoin (BTC) stabilizes above $118,000 at the time of writing on Thursday after rallying over 5% so far this week. The upward trend strengthens as market participants price in an over 99% chance that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would lower borrowing costs on October 29. Moreover, the institutional demand also remains strong, with BTC spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording their third consecutive day of inflows this week on Wednesday, while Metaplanet added 5,268 BTC to its reserve.
Bitcoin price rose nearly 4% on Wednesday, closing above the $118,500 mark. The rally came as the US government began a shutdown after Congress failed to pass a funding bill. The news pressured the US Dollar (USD), which slipped under modest selling pressure, and with BTC’s inverse correlation to the USD, the cryptocurrency surged sharply.
