What moves bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin depends on the Fed rate and the mood of the market, on fund flows and on supply. What matters for BTC now and which US releases are coming.

The main things that move the price

The Fed rate and the mood

Bitcoin trades as a risk asset. When a lower rate is expected and there is more money in the system, there are usually more buyers.

Funds and big players

Inflows and outflows of exchange-traded funds show the demand of big money, and orders and trades on exchanges show where it stands right now.

Supply

Roughly every four years the halving cuts the issue of new coins in half. News on regulation can move the price sharply too.

When it is most active

The market is open around the clock. The strongest moves often coincide with US figures and New York trading hours.

Major releases ahead

The next high-impact releases over two weeks. What each means for the market is on its card.
