Crypto Market Boosted by Global Tailwinds

A broad market uptrend is currently unfolding positive dynamics in risk markets, including the stock market. An optimistic outlook for a scenario without a hard landing, or at least a soft landing, is emerging, favored by positive results from the banking sector. Notably, the developments in the crypto sector are remarkable. Following a familiar pattern, the rise of Bitcoin is pulling the entire market with it. The strong price growth of Bitcoin can be attributed to three key factors. The strongest driver is a stimulus in the Chinese markets, which is making investors optimistic about globally traded assets. Bitcoin, in particular, seems to benefit from demand developments in China, which is also significant for Ethereum and Dogecoin. Additionally, Bitcoin's current price level of over $65,000 is underpinned by a simple play of supply and demand. Noteworthy are the net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, which reached over $400 million within 24 hours. While Ethereum slightly flowed out of this area, Bitcoin's dominance in this segment signals to market observers a possible continuation of this dynamic. Seasonal trends that could fuel speculative interest in digital assets should not be overlooked either. The so-called "Uptober" is promising high expectations among traders and investors due to the average value increases of 23% in this month since 2013. While the longer-term upward trend of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin appears to remain intact for now, the connection to riskier stocks should be kept in mind. A potential downturn could be crucial for the market, as well as the economic situation. As long as a soft landing seems within reach, the current boom could be more than just a short-term phenomenon.
