Recent Bitcoin Trends
1. Price Performance
Bitcoin is currently trading around $115,000, slightly down intraday (–1 to –1.6%) and showing moderate declines over the past 7 and 30 days (–2 to –3%).
The recent all-time high is around $124,000, reached last week.
2. Macroeconomic Catalysts
Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium sparked a renewed sense of optimism, with an increase of ~4.2% for Bitcoin that day, driven by hopes of interest rate cuts.
Bernstein analysts estimate that the bull run could last until 2027, citing favorable institutional and regulatory factors — but some experts consider this projection too optimistic, betting instead on a peak between $140,000–$150,000 by the end of 2025.
3. Role of ETFs & Institutional Adoption
The massive entry of institutional investors through spot Bitcoin ETFs — notably the one from BlackRock (IBIT) — is transforming the demand structure and sustainably supporting the market.
There is a cumulative total of over $100 billion in assets within these ETFs, a strong sign of market maturity.
4. Consolidation After the Surge
After peaking around $124,000, Bitcoin has slightly retreated to $113–$115,000, raising some concerns about maintaining the bullish momentum.
