What Experts Are Saying: Bitfinex analysts attribute Bitcoin's rally to cooling inflation signals and strong ETF inflows, with the cryptocurrency testing the $94,000 level.
"The market is also reacting to cooling inflation signals and renewed institutional bid, especially as spot volumes pick up," the Bitfinex report states.
They highlight that on-chain flows indicate accumulation rather than distribution, aligning with Bitcoin's relative strength against equities and the dollar.
The report also points to liquidation data, with over $800 million in short positions liquidated in the past 65 hours, fueling Bitcoin's upward momentum.
They also note Bitcoin's rising dominance at 55–56%, reinforcing its store-of-value narrative during periods of macro risk and altcoin corrections.
"If Bitcoin can hold above $89-90k on strong spot volume… the rally likely has legs," Bitfinex analysts concluded.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $92,500, down 1% on the day.
