Today, the United States will release its October inflation data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Core CPI. According to QCP Capital’s analysis, these figures may influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rate cuts in December. The market is anticipating a 70% probability of a final rate cut during this meeting. However, in addition to inflation data, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (PCE), set to be announced on November 27, and potential policy shifts from Donald Trump may also guide the Fed’s decision.
Record Demand for Bitcoin ETFs
Bitcoin (BTC) $95,103 has entered a new phase as its price approaches the $90,000 mark. Increasingly, institutions, governments, and companies are recognizing Bitcoin as a “treasury asset.” The market has experienced significant activity due to record demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Following the U.S. elections, $1.8 billion flowed into spot Bitcoin ETFs, with an additional net inflow of $1.1 billion earlier this week. This surge, totaling $2.28 billion within three days, has drawn attention in the market. QCP Capital suggests that such high demand is likely to drive Bitcoin’s price upward.
