Multiple Catalysts for the Crypto Market’s Ascendant Trajectory
The crypto market had a strong upward trajectory following the November 5 US elections, which debuted in full force the next day when the election results came in.
The bullish moves continued, sending Bitcoin to new ATHs, fueled by market optimism stemming from the upcoming changes in Washington and the prospect of the US creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Also, the Fed’s latest 25 bps rate cuts from last week fueled the price rally even more, along with continued inflows in US BTC ETFs and this week’s CPI October report.
