Three Reasons Why BTC Price Reclaimed $58,000: Details

At one point in the week, Bitcoin traded above $59,000 only to return to near $56,000, even dipping as low as $54,339 in Monday’s trading session.

After two prior days of losses, Bitcoin closed Friday’s trading session in green after the U.S. CPI report came out on Thursday with a core CPI gain of 3.3% versus 3.5% projected, appearing bullish for crypto.

The monthly inflation rate fell in June for the first time in almost four years, offering additional support for the Federal Reserve to begin cutting interest rates later this year.

The rebound sustained at press time with BTC up 2.15% in the last 24 hours to $58,215 after reaching intraday highs of $58,483.

The government, which reportedly now has a zero balance in its main account, likely began selling its hoard of more than $2 billion in Bitcoin through exchanges such as Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Kraken and Bitstamp three weeks ago, according to Arkham’s transaction log.

Bloomberg citing JPMorgan data reported that spot Bitcoin ETFs received $882 million in the week ending July 11, with an average daily inflow of $175 million. This is the most inflows since the period ended May 23.

BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) and Fidelity Bitcoin funds topped the jump, raising $403 million and $361 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s ETF lost about $87 million, continuing its trend of losses.
