  • The price of Bitcoin has surpassed $45,000 for the first time since January, indicating investors are viewing cryptocurrencies as an inflation hedge as traditional assets like bonds offer falling returns.
  • With the US government debt reaching a record $34.2 trillion, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates, leading investors to seek alternative stores of value like Bitcoin to hedge against inflation.
  • Key derivatives market metrics show cautious optimism that the Bitcoin rally to $45,000 was not overextended, suggesting the price could be sustained and continue rising toward $49,000 resistance, though volatility remains a risk.

The price of Bitcoin has rallied past $45,000 for the first time since January 12th, gaining over 6% in just two days. This coincided with the S&P 500 reaching a record high, indicating that investors are looking to cryptocurrencies as an inflation hedge.

Rising US Debt Drives Demand for Bitcoin

Healthy Bitcoin Derivatives Market Signals Further Gains

Key derivatives metrics like futures premiums and options skews reveal that pro traders remain cautiously optimistic about further upside. This suggests Bitcoin could sustain the $45,000 support level and continue towards $49,000 resistance.

Conclusion

While macroeconomic uncertainty persists, Bitcoin’s scarcity provides a hedge against traditional assets. The current derivatives landscape indicates the rally to $45,000 was not over-leveraged, paving the way for more bullish momentum. However, volatility remains a risk that traders must manage.
