Bitcoin Price Near $107K on Fed Cut Hopes and Tariff Deadline
Bitcoin’s price has oscillated around $106,500–$107,000 as traders weigh mixed drivers. Early July saw BTC dip below $107K amid profit-taking risks—on-chain data show 98% of supply in profit and a realized profit/loss ratio above 2.4—and caution ahead of the US tariff deadline on July 9. Institutional demand remains solid: Strategy added 4,980 BTC, lifting its holdings to 597,325 BTC (worth $64 billion) at an average cost of $106,801. US-listed miners’ market cap climbed to $28 billion, even as network hashrate eased in a heatwave. Bitfinex analysts flag fading momentum after a 40% rally from $73K, though some economists predict a rebound toward $130K on tight consolidation. Simultaneously, better-than-expected US inflation figures and a stronger manufacturing PMI (52.9) have reinforced expectations of a Fed pause and eventual rate cuts, fueling bullish sentiment. Traders should monitor upcoming inflation reports, Fed meetings, the looming tariff deadline and on-chain signals for clues on short-term volatility and potential consolidation.
Bullish
The convergence of strong institutional demand, Fed rate-cut expectations and resilient macro data outweighs short-term profit-taking risks and tariff concerns. While on-chain metrics indicate overbought conditions and analysts warn of fading momentum, bullish drivers—improved US inflation, manufacturing PMI and signals of future rate cuts—support continued price stability above $106K and potential upward moves. Traders may see volatility around key events but the overall bias remains positive for BTC.
