Bullish momentum builds for Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) are entering a period of intensified bullish sentiment, supported by macroeconomic trends and rising institutional interest.
Analysts forecast Bitcoin to trade between $115,000 and $140,000, with Ethereum potentially reaching $4,600 in the near term.
Bitcoin has surpassed key resistance levels and is consolidating above $114,000, maintaining strong upward momentum.
Institutional demand continues to rise, with steady inflows into BTC-linked investment products and increased adoption by publicly listed companies.
Bitcoin ETFs are attracting consistent capital, bolstered by developments such as crypto integration into certain US 401(k) retirement plans.
Ethereum has broken above $4,000, signalling a bullish technical breakout and strengthening market confidence.
In a single day, Ethereum ETFs recorded over $1 billion in inflows, five times more than Bitcoin ETFs during the same period.
ETH’s surge is supported by its role in both decentralised finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi), as well as new regulatory clarity on crypto assets and stablecoins.
The latest CME trading records for Ethereum futures add further weight to bullish projections, with targets set at $4,600 and possible tests of $4,800 to $5,000.
The anticipated September 2025 US Federal Reserve rate cut is expected to boost liquidity and favour risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies.
Historically, monetary easing cycles have aligned with sharp rallies in BTC and ETH prices.
Market experts suggest the combination of strong ETF inflows, institutional expansion, and supportive monetary policy could trigger a broad-based crypto rally.
Altcoins may also benefit from this environment, with some analysts predicting explosive gains across the sector.
The convergence of technical, economic, and structural forces could mark a pivotal moment in the history of the cryptocurrency market.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $119,204.

CoreWeave Dilemma for Nvidia: Forced to Rescue or Stand By?
As both a shareholder of CoreWeave and its sole GPU supplier, Nvidia now faces a dilemma after the sharp decline in CoreWeave's stock price. If it intervenes, each rescue strengthens expectations of a safety net, raises the threshold for future rescues, and risks getting further entangled in this high-leverage game. If it does not intervene, CoreWeave's liquidity crisis will directly cut off demand for GPU purchases, simultaneously devaluing Nvidia's equity investment and severely damaging its market reputation.
US CPI Heats Up Across the Board, Triggering "Inflation Spiral" Alert; October Rate Hike Odds Once Hit 50%. "New Fed News Agency": Watch Waller's Speech This Week
After the CPI was released, the market-implied rate hike probability first rose to 50% before falling back to 40%. Wall Street generally believes that whether action will be taken in October still depends on how the Federal Reserve assesses inflation trends. "The New Fed News Agency" noted that, unlike in August when price increases were concentrated in certain items, the stronger-than-expected performance of September's core CPI was more broad-based, further reinforcing the case for a December rate hike. The speech by Waller on Friday morning Beijing time is his last public statement before the Fed's blackout period ahead of this month's meeting. Economists are warning about an "inflation spiral," with real purchasing power and midterm election pressures interweaving.
