Bitcoin may be on the verge of a significant breakout as U.S. money market funds reach an unprecedented $6.2 trillion, potentially paving the way for a surge in Bitcoin’s price. The surge in money market funds is largely attributed to expectations of an impending interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
According to insights from the Kobeissi Letter, much of the recent inflows into these funds have been driven by institutional investors who are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of lower interest rates. The prospect of reduced rates is expected to shift investor interest back toward riskier assets like Bitcoin, possibly triggering increased institutional involvement.
As expectations for a rate cut grow ahead of the Federal Reserve’s meeting on September 18, the likelihood of a Bitcoin rally becomes more pronounced. The CME FedWatch tool currently shows a 65.5% probability of a 25 basis-point rate cut and a 34.5% chance of a 50 basis-point reduction.
Some analysts are already forecasting a potential surge in Bitcoin’s value. A popular crypto analyst, Titan of Crypto, recently suggested that Bitcoin could be heading towards the $68,000 mark, driven by a broader market shift and technical indicators. The momentum could continue beyond September, with projections indicating a potential rise to $95,000 and even higher.
Despite these optimistic projections, Bitcoin still faces significant resistance around the $65,000 level. Breaking past this threshold could lead to the liquidation of substantial short positions, further fueling the upward momentum.
Additionally, inflows into U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been rising, with a notable increase observed on August 23, where over $252 million flowed into these funds—more than double the average daily inflows. This trend signals growing confidence in Bitcoin’s future price action.
