💵 💴 💶Bitcoin Demand Stabilizes, Will There Be an Upsurge in Q4?💵 💴 💶
While signals of balance in Bitcoin demand are emerging, a more significant rise is needed in Q4 for prices to reach higher levels. According to a report by CryptoQuant analysts, BTC prices have seen a slight increase of 1.2% in the last hour, continuing to trade above the $62,000 level. CryptoQuant data shows that while volatility for Bitcoin decreased in September, demand steadily increased. However, analysts pointed out that this rise in demand during September was not enough to trigger a sustained price rally. They highlight that in April, when demand surged to 496,000 Bitcoins, the price reached the $70,000 levels, stressing the need for a larger demand increase in Q4.
US Stocks Closed Flat Ahead of Employment Data. Eyes on the Middle East
Despite Israel announcing retaliation against Iran, the market didn’t react much to the situation today. Furthermore, there was limited response from stocks to the September ADP Employment Change Report, which didn’t sway thoughts on the economy’s soft landing scenario. Employment growth was at a good level (143,000), wage inflation declined, and both the goods and services sectors saw hiring, with this trend present across all regions. The relative strength in the semiconductor sector provided some support to the market, as the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) closed 1.5% higher. The price movement also supported the S&P 500 information technology sector (+0.6%), rising along with Apple’s (+0.3%) increase.
Eurozone Inflation Fell Below Target
The European Central Bank (ECB) anticipated that this inflation data would be weak, as President Christine Lagarde mentioned during a press conference in September. However, the figures came in slightly weaker than most analysts had expected. While a recovery is expected in the fourth quarter, there are questions about how significant this will be, especially as oil prices fall rapidly.
