\n

Bitcoin prices have tapped $117,000 twice over the past couple of hours as the asset reached its highest level since August 23, almost four weeks ago.<\/p>\n

BTC gained 1.5% on the day, and almost 5% on the week, but had retreated slightly to $116,600 at the time of writing on Wednesday morning in Asia.<\/p>\n

The move comes on the day that the US Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates for the first time this year. This will lead to greater liquidity and a potential cycle of monetary easing, which has been historically bullish for riskier assets such as crypto.<\/p>\n

Crypto Analysts Weigh In<\/h2>\n

Economist Alex Kr\u00fcger said<\/a> he was ready for the dovish cut despite markets already pricing the move in.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThough my market views have not changed much. I\u2019m bullish on equities and Bitcoin. The market often forgets how much BTC can move due to recency bias.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rate cuts also result in liquidity flow from less-risky assets like treasury bills to high-risk assets like stocks and crypto, observed<\/a> \u2018Ash Crypto.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAs more cuts happen, liquidity flows into Bitcoin, and altcoins will increase,\u201d he said before adding:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe already have major catalysts like ETF approval, pro-crypto administration and regulatory clarity. Once liquidity starts to flow, these catalysts will be priced in, leading to a parabolic Q4 rally.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe last time the FED cut rates, the market pumped very hard,\u201d said crypto analyst Sykodelic.<\/p>\n

\n

The last time the FED cut rates the market pumped very hard.<\/p>\n

So I honestly do not understand why so many people are bearish about rate cuts?<\/p>\n

We are quite literally, almost to the day, in the exact same position we were last time the FED cut rates.<\/p>\n
