Federal Reserve Triggers Bitcoin Rebound


The chart shows the price trend of Bitcoin relative to its 200-day moving average from September 2023 to September 2024. We can see a significant rebound forming as Bitcoin tests the 200-day moving average. This may be influenced by the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions to address market concerns.
Nasdaq ISE has submitted several amendments to address concerns about market manipulation and excessive risk-taking. One key change sets the position and exercise limits for IBIT options at 25,000 contracts, as described as “extremely conservative,” considering the market’s size and the liquidity of the trust.

Impact of Bitcoin ETF on BTC Investments
The introduction of IBIT options provides investors with new tools to manage Bitcoin risks. These options will settle in physical form and have American-style operations, providing hedges against Bitcoin-related risks. This development is expected to attract more institutional investors to invest in Bitcoin, but this expectation may also prove to be wrong.
Market Correlation Trends
Recent data shows a strong correlation between digital assets and the U.S. stock market. The chart shared earlier illustrates this trend. As we mentioned, the price trend of Bitcoin is closely related to broader market patterns.

Looking ahead
Investors are closely watching comments from Federal Reserve officials and the release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index.
McNulty, Director of Trading at Arbelos Markets, stated, “We believe the speakers are more important than personal consumption expenditure inflation data, as the reaction function of the FOMC is crucial at times when the market is trying to determine.”
