Bitcoin (BTC) has broken out of its recent slump, surging past the $115,660 resistance level. This rally is being driven by a combination of strong institutional investment and a favorable shift in the macroeconomic landscape.
The primary catalyst for the price increase is a major return of institutional buyers. On September 10, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a massive $757 million in net inflows, the highest single-day intake in eight weeks. This brought the total for the month to an impressive $1.39 billion, indicating a renewed appetite from large-scale investors. All twelve US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows, with Fidelity's FBTC leading the charge.
This influx of capital coincides with economic data that suggests a more dovish stance from the Federal Reserve. Although the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was slightly higher than expected, an unexpected drop in the Producer Price Index (PPI) and a spike in jobless claims have led traders to price in a 92% probability of a Fed interest rate cut next week.
Technically, Bitcoin's weekly chart is showing two powerful "inverse head-and-shoulders" patterns, which are bullish formations. The smaller pattern projects a target of around $170,000, while a larger pattern suggests a long-term target of $360,000, hinting at a potential new "supercycle."
The rally is also marked by a "great rotation" of capital. While Bitcoin ETFs are seeing strong inflows, their Ethereum ETF counterparts have experienced significant outflows of $668 million in September, highlighting a clear institutional preference for Bitcoin in the current market environment.
