October to December has always been the strongest period for the market, and the six-month consolidation phase may be coming to an end. BTC is likely to rebound at the end of the year, bringing surprises to many market participants.
Although BTC has been consolidating since reaching its all-time high in March 2024, its year-to-date return has reached +49%, which is comparable to the +47% return predicted based on historical data. Based on Bitcoin's performance over the past decade, if this historical trend continues, October is likely to see a significant rebound.
The Fed's rate cut boosted market sentiment and prevented the labor market from continuing to weaken
The Federal Reserve recently announced a 50 bp rate cut. Chairman Powell told the financial market that the decision was made because the Fed is confident that inflation will fall back to the 2% target level. At the same time, the rate cut is also a preventive measure to avoid a weakening labor market. Powell emphasized that the overall US economy is running well, and his relatively tough remarks also put many investors' concerns to rest. Although the uncertainty of the US election still exists, the Fed's move has successfully maintained market momentum.
