13. U.S. stocks are nearing historical highs, the yen is weakening, and with the U.S. elections approaching, risk appetite is increasing, driving up risk assets.
QCP released a weekly summary stating that BTC rose by 10.48%, reaching a high of $69,000, with the psychological barrier of $70,000 now in sight. There are no major macro data points as resistance next week. The inflow of BTC ETFs this week has been substantial. As of Friday, ETF inflows reached $203.3 million, showing a net inflow trend for six consecutive days. The continued inflow into ETFs indicates that institutional demand remains strong. With the SEC approving Bitcoin ETF options to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this morning, it is believed that this will provide the necessary liquidity for ETFs and attract sustainable capital inflows. Bitcoin's market share currently stands at a multi-year high of 58%, a level last seen in April 2021. As it approaches the key resistance level of 60%, we believe this will lay the foundation for a strong recovery of Layer 1 (L1) tokens. As the U.S. stock market nears historical highs and the yen continues to weaken, risk appetite will only further strengthen with the upcoming U.S. elections. This will drive up risk assets and support the "Uptober" rebound narrative. -Original
