US Fed Rate Cuts Are Helping Bitcoin Fundstrat: Tom Lee

Co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors of Tom Lee believes that Bitcoin (BTC) is benefiting from the fresh slice of interest rate in by the US Federal Reserve. 

In an interview with Fox Business on the 31st of July, Mr. Lee explained how the rate cuts affect BTC. 

He revealed that with interest rate cuts adding liquidity, investors are being forced to push their money into such risk assets and hedges like Bitcoin, making BTC a macro hedge for investors and a form of insurance against any likely adverse occurrences. 

In a far-ranging interview, Mr. Lee also revealed that he believes in the possibility of BTC hitting its $20,000 all-time high price before the year’s end.Conclusion and Projection

Although the BTCUSD at press time reflects bullish sentiment, a break below the Ichimoku Cloud baseline ($245.2 Billion) on the weekly chart of the total crypto market-cap however, will signal strong bearish sentiment and a general decline in the price of cryptocurrencies across the market.

On the other hand, a break above the Ichimoku Cloud Span B ($286.5 Billion) should confirm the bullish campaign anticipated to push the price into the monthly time frame of the BTCUSD overbought territory.
