Bitcoin Surges To $107K As Fed Rate Cut Hopes, Geopolitical Fears Ease

HomeNews* Bitcoin rebounded to over $107,000 after a sharp drop tied to Middle East tensions.

• Recent gains are linked to comments from former U.S. President Donald Trump predicting “massive” investment in crypto.
• Federal Reserve officials are signaling a possible interest rate cut, with decisions being closely watched by crypto investors.
• Analysts note Bitcoin’s price stability following geopolitical crises, suggesting growing acceptance among mainstream investors.
• Crypto markets are awaiting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony and U.S. inflation data for further direction. Bitcoin experienced a strong recovery, rising above $107,000 on June 25 after dropping below $100,000 earlier in the week. This rebound followed heightened concerns in global markets due to recent escalations in conflict between Israel and Iran.

Gadi Chait, head of investment at Xapo Bank, described Bitcoin as increasingly acting like a “safe-haven asset” in recent times. Chait explained, “Bitcoin’s response to recent macro shocks, like the events in the Middle East, has been notably restrained, neither tracking Gold perfectly nor mirroring equity sell-offs. Its V-shaped recovery back above $105,000 in under 48 hours after falling into the nineties, highlights its growing liquidity and integration into mainstream portfolios.”

On June 25, the market turned attention to upcoming Congressional testimony by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Investors are also monitoring U.S. inflation data, with hopes that the central bank could soon initiate a long-anticipated interest rate cut. According to CME FedWatch, there is now a 22% chance of a rate cut in July, up from 10% a week ago.

Several Fed officials have recently shown support for adjusting rates. Michelle Bowman, vice chair for supervision, stated it may be time to consider lowering policy rates. Austan Goolsbee, president of the Chicago Fed, noted that recent U.S. trade tariffs have not produced the feared inflationary effects. Christopher Waller, a Fed governor, commented last week that lower rates could be warranted as early as July, citing potential risks to the labor market.

The Federal Reserve’s decision-making remains influenced by both ongoing geopolitical developments and U.S. economic data. As the market waits for further signals, experts point out that Bitcoin’s steady performance during recent global shocks could indicate both increased resilience and wider adoption among investors.
