Bitcoin gains almost 8% today to almost $60, 000, as Wall Street reacts to stronger than expected US labour market data. Also, Ethereum prices are 10% higher, rising above $2500. Filecoin gains 11%, and other smaller cryptocurrencies such as Waves or Fantom rally 20% and 10% respectively.
- Market bets that stepping improvement in sentiments on Wall Street will support demand on Bitcoin ETFs, with rising demand on dollar-hedge trades such as gold, which also gains today.
- o, despite rising treasury yields, after stronger US data, the relief rally on Wall Street is based on expectations that the Fed will cut rates in autumn, while recessionary economy momentum is not a foregone conclusion as ISM services and jobless claim came in stronger than expected.
US Bitcoin ETFs showed net outflows during the last sessions, however the scale of those outflows was not so huge, with almost 0 net outflows from BlackRock's IBIT ETF - despite 'crash' across multiple assets and financial markets. Source: XTB Research, Bloomberg Finance L.P.
