Bitcoin and Ether on the Rise

Bitcoin climbed back to the key $95,000 threshold on Thursday after the release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index

Bitcoin price encountered resistance at the key $95,000 level on Thursday following the release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which came in as expected, according to QCP Capital.

After a period of consolidation, bitcoin’s rally appears to be influenced by improving macroeconomic conditions, QCP Capital noted. At 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, BTC is just below the $95K mark at $94,939 per unit.

Bitcoin’s share of the market has slipped from its high of 61.5%, indicating a shift in investor attention. Meanwhile, ether (ETH) has surged 11.65% to reach a high of $3,688.

According to QCP Capital, this aligns with its earlier prediction of capital rotating from BTC to ETH. Over the past week, QCP analysts said ETH/BTC has surged 17.8%, bringing the 0.0400 BTC level into view as the next target.

This move, combined with continued inflows into ETH-focused spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), highlights a refreshed wave of optimism.

On Wednesday alone, ethereum spot ETFs attracted $90.1 million, marking their fourth consecutive day of net inflows.

While bitcoin’s rally to $95,000 reflects positive market sentiment, QCP’s market update expressed caution, noting that the cryptocurrency could encounter resistance as it pushes higher.

Meanwhile, ether’s strong performance could pave the way for it to revisit its all-time high of $4,868, a potential 35.4% climb from its current value.

As ETH benefits from heightened interest and bitcoin finds its footing in price discovery, QCP Capital advised keeping a close watch on macroeconomic signals and investor behavior. Both bitcoin and ethereum continue to be central players in shaping the crypto market narrative as the year unfolds.
