#Trade Tensions Ease#
Bitcoin may continue to rise with this news!
The clearest signal for a long-standing trade tension in global markets has emerged. The trade agreement between the US and China has not only eliminated macroeconomic uncertainties but has also ignited the fuse for a new peak journey for Bitcoin (BTC). Leading crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe emphasized in his latest assessment that this development could be the "ultimate trigger" for BTC.
US-China Tensions Ease: Risk Assets Ready for Rally
After intense discussions throughout the weekend, trade tariffs between the two countries were temporarily reduced by 30%. It was announced that this decision will remain in effect for 90 days and will be reevaluated afterwards.
This development has led to positive pricing not only in the stock markets but also in risk assets like Bitcoin. According to experts:
Inflation pressure may ease
There may be an increase in downward expectations for interest rates.
The sense of stability and security in the market may regain strength.
This improvement in the macroeconomic landscape could pave the way for a new rally period for Bitcoin. In particular, the rebuilding of investor confidence is increasing buying pressure.
Bitcoin Approaches ATH: $105,000 Tested
In the past 24 hours, BTC rose to the level of 105,747 dollars, but there was a partial correction from this area. As of now, Bitcoin:
Price: 105.219 dollars
Daily increase: %1.56
Trading volume: 50.43 billion dollars (+%13.12)
The rising trading volume indicates that investors continue to accumulate BTC despite the correction. This situation suggests that the price still has upward potential.
Bitcoin is quite close to surpassing its all-time high of $109,114 reached on January 19, 2025, (ATH).
Additionally, BTC has managed to create a new ATH against the NASDAQ index. This further highlights Bitcoin's strength against traditional markets.
Institutions Turned to Bitcoin: $1.4 Billion ETF Investment from Goldman Sachs
Van de Poppe predicts that BTC may enter a short horizontal movement process in the upcoming period, followed by a sharp breakout towards new peaks. However, there's an interesting detail: Altcoins are expected to perform better than BTC in the short term.
Institutional investors are strengthening their net positions in favor of BTC in this environment.
For example:
Goldman Sachs drew attention with its investment in BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF.
The bank opened a position worth 1.4 billion dollars by adding 30.8 million shares to the ETF portfolio.
Thus, Goldman Sachs has become the largest ETF shareholder of BlackRock.
This step clearly demonstrates the institutional appetite for ETF markets and the confidence in Bitcoin.
Conclusion: Is Bitcoin Preparing for a New Peak?
The agreement between the US and China, along with the increase in institutional investments, has the potential to drive BTC prices back to ATH levels. However, this journey is expected to come not immediately, but with horizontal consolidation and volume confirmation.
The following questions are critical for investors now:
Will the movements above 105,000 dollars be permanent?
Will the ATH level of 109.114 dollars be broken?
If corporate purchases continue, could 120,000 dollars be the new target?
As the market seeks answers to these questions, the possibility of Bitcoin re-entering a bull market is gaining strength day by day.
