BTC’s rally has stalled amid hawkish comments from the Fed officials.

“We believe that the underlying strength in BTC represents a systematic shift in the market in anticipation of Trump’s return to office,” QCP Capital traders said in a Friday broadcast.

Headline inflation year-over-year is expected to increase by 0.2% and end a six-month consecutive decline, last seen in March 2024.

BTC’s breakout has the market in a state of euphoria, QCP Capital said.

Michael Saylor’s company surpassed its lofty dotcom bubble highs, now holding over $24 billion worth of BTC in its treasury.

The token has risen amid an absence of liquidity on exchanges.

Chart studies reveal that BTC’s price rally appears overstretched and could be primed for a classic “bull market pullback.”

The fourth largest crypto could potentially reach its 2021 record high of $260 in the coming days given its relative strength through crypto’s eight-month long consolidation phase, one analyst noted.

Cardano’s ADA, Polygon’s POL advanced 15% as the broad-market CoinDesk 20 Index outperformed BTC.

Bitcoin (BTC) just hit a new all-time high, but Ethereum’s ether (ETH) is the bigger winner.
