Bitcoin’s price explodes above $61K, causing over $100 million in liquidations.

The Bitcoin price has recovered above the pivotal $60K mark, causing many to believe that the bulls are back and a larger rally is in play.

  • At the time of this writing, BTC trades at above $61K, charting an increase of more than 4% in the past 24 hours alone.

 

  • As seen in the chart, the price exploded during the last hour as the volatility was significantly less before that.
  • This move has resulted in over $100 million in liquidations in the derivatives market over the past day.

 

  • As CryptoPotato  reported earlier, the increased volatility throughout the day comes after an assassination attempt on the Republican presidential candidate in the US – Donald Trump.
  • Trump confirmed, in an official statement, that he was shot in the upper part of his ear following the shootout during his latest rally in Pennsylvania.
  • He was seen being escorted by agents of the US Secret Service, and in many of the pictures, there’s blood on his face.
  • Many meme coins associated with Donald Trump have seen massive spikes in the past 24 hours.

Trump pushes Fed to cut rates, but Waller may go the opposite way: Next week’s meeting faces a “three-way choice”

Bloomberg columnist Claudia Sahm believes that as Trump continues to pressure for rate cuts while inflation remains well above the 2% target, raising rates is becoming an option again, leaving Waller facing a tough decision next week. The Federal Reserve has three paths: raising rates without Waller’s support, which could trigger rare internal divisions; holding steady, which may invite criticism of political interference; or Waller leading a rate hike, which could withstand White House pressure and defend policy independence.
