Why is Bitcoin Price Going Up Today?

Published by

The cryptocurrency market is rallying today, with Bitcoin driving a broad comeback across major coins. Bitcoin has climbed back to around $92,423, gaining more than 6% in the past week and adding over $200 billion in value in just 36 hours. 

This is the highest level BTC has seen in weeks, helped by nearly $400 million in short liquidations that forced bearish traders to exit their positions. Ethereum has also moved above $3,090, while Solana, BNB, Cardano, Stellar, and Chainlink are showing steady gains across the board.

Institutional ETF Money Returns After Weeks of Outflows

One of the main reasons for today’s rally is the return of institutional inflows through crypto ETFs. Last week brought $1.1 billion into digital-asset funds, which is the strongest weekly inflow in nearly two months. 

This is a sharp reversal from the four weeks of withdrawals that removed almost $5 billion from the market. The U.S. led the recovery with nearly $1 billion in new inflows, and both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw heavy demand. At the same time, money left short-Bitcoin funds, showing that market sentiment is shifting back toward bullish expectations.

BlackRock’s IBIT had another strong day, and confidence improved further after Vanguard allowed Bitcoin ETF trading for its customers. The Coinbase Premium Index has also turned positive, which usually signals rising U.S. buying pressure.

Macro Conditions Are Becoming More Supportive

The broader financial environment is also lifting crypto prices. Markets are now expecting a 25-basis-point interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve on December 10. Lower rates usually help Bitcoin because they make non-yielding assets more attractive. 

Altcoins Rise Alongside Bitcoin

Altcoins are joining the rally. XRP is holding above $2.17, Solana is back over $141, and Chainlink is up more than 12% this week. Bitcoin Cash is one of the strongest performers, rising nearly 10%. Cardano, TRON, Dogecoin, and Stellar are also showing healthy upward movement as buying returns across the market.
