According to cryptocurrency data provider CoinGecko, Bitcoin has risen over 4% in the past 24 hours to over $84,000.
The largest cryptocurrency by market cap briefly touched $85,000 earlier in the day before pulling back. The rally coincided with a broader rebound in risk assets, with markets responding positively to signs of macroeconomic stability and the U.S. government’s apparent success in preventing a lockdown.
According to Strahinja Savic, head of data analytics at crypto advisory firm FRNT Financial, Bitcoin’s rise reflects renewed confidence in financial markets. “Some renewed macro stability suggests that Bitcoin and crypto are recovering along with other risk assets,” Savic said in a Telegram message, adding: “Lower-than-expected inflation figures and the perception that geopolitical risks are easing are contributing to the easing of macro concerns and providing a wind of support for Bitcoin.”
He also noted that some Bitcoin investors are taking the opportunity to “buy the dip,” fueling the rebound.
Bitcoin’s gains come after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s statement expressing support for a Republican measure to fund the government. The government shutdown could have added more uncertainty to markets grappling with concerns of stagflation, an economic scenario in which growth slows while inflation remains high.
Risk assets have been under pressure for weeks due to trade war fears sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on major trading partners. Additional macroeconomic concerns, including the government’s controversial cost-cutting measures, have also weighed on investor sentiment.
The University of Michigan’s Consumer Confidence Index fell to its lowest level since 2022, signaling a decline in confidence in the U.S. economy. The survey also revealed that inflation expectations have risen to their highest level in more than two years. Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto asset manager BitBull Capital, stated that this data drives investors to Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty. He also pointed out that institutional confidence remains strong, with BlackRock resuming Bitcoin purchases and making a $25 million investment.
Despite the current bullish momentum, DiPasquale cautioned that volatility remains a concern, warning that there could be potential significant corrections ahead.
