Bitcoin Surpasses $116K as ‘Uptober’ Takes Shape Again
During a month where it reached all-time highs and also faced sharp price drops, bitcoin is retaking its winning track as good news regarding trade wars and the local U.S. economy start piling in.
During Monday early morning, the prime cryptocurrency surpassed the key $116K level, as China and the U.S. announced reaching a milestone in trade talks on Sunday.
Delegations of both countries celebrated an agreement in adopting a framework to facilitate a trade deal ahead of a meeting between President Trump and President Xi later this week as part of Trump’s Asian tour.
Recent positive news, including the better than expected inflation numbers, and the expectation of further interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve might also be acting as tailwinds for bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency market.
Coincidentally, Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs because of China’s policy of rare earth export control was a catalyst for taking BTC as low as $104K on October 17.
Bitcoin started October rising to $116K, a trend called “Uptober,” given the tendency of the cryptocurrency market to rise during this month. Bitcoin price action came full circle as the market prepares to make its next move.
Earlier, Glassnode hinted at a reversal of the sentiment toward bitcoin, stating that for the first time since October 10, “aggressive selling pressure has subsided over the last several days.”
