Bets on a US Soft Landing and 50-Basis Point Fed Rate Cut Fuel BTC-spot ETF Demand

Recent US economic indicators have bolstered expectations of a soft US economic landing. Moreover, Friday’s softer US inflation figures fueled speculation about a possible 50-basis point November Fed rate cut. Sentiment toward the US economy and the Fed rate path drove buying pressure for riskier assets, supporting BTC’s return to $65,000.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 50-basis point November Fed rate cut increased from 50.4% (September 20) to 53.3% (September 27).

US Labor Market, Services Sector, and BTC Supply-Demand Trends in Focus

Looking ahead, the US ISM Services PMI and Jobs Report could further influence the Fed rate path and sentiment toward the US economy.

A resilient services sector and a steady unemployment rate could bolster expectations of a soft US economic landing. Furthermore, Friday’s softer inflation figures could allow the Fed to cut rates by 50 basis points in November as it navigates the narrow path to a soft US landing.

Fed Chair Powell will speak on Monday, September 30, potentially providing more insight into the Fed’s interest rates plans.

Support for US BTC-spot ETFs could push BTC toward $70,000. However, investors should consider Mt. Gox repayments to creditors, which may counter US BTC-spot ETF inflows. Oversupply risk could push BTC down toward $60,000.

Investors should remain vigilant, as upcoming US economic data, US BTC-spot ETF flows, and Mt. Gox transfers will likely impact buying pressure for BTC and the broader market. Stay tuned for our latest news and analysis to optimize your BTC and crypto exposures.
