BlackRock’s recent purchases coincide with BTC’s latest recovery rally. BTC is facing some resistance at the $97,000 mark. The asset briefly breached the $97,000 mark earlier today. The original crypto has since fallen to the $96,000 level.

BTC is trading in the green zone across the board today. The asset is up 1% in the daily charts, 3.5% in the weekly charts, 14.8% in the 14-day charts, 14.3% in the monthly charts, and 67.8% since May 2024.

Other bullish developments may have also aided BTC’s latest rally. The SEC’s new pro-BTC head, Paul Atkins, is expected to take a lenient stance on the crypto space. We may be in the early stages of another bullish leg.

The Federal Reserve is also expected to drop interest rates soon. A rate cut will likely lead to a market-wide rally as borrowing becomes easier. Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets could see a price spike if the Fed cuts rates.

Will The Asset Reclaim $100,000 Soon?

BTC could be in the early stages of another big rally. The asset is facing some resistance at the $97,000 mark. Overcoming this barrier may take BTC beyond $100,000.
