Celestia, Jasmy, Pepe, MOTHER Iggy lead as Bitcoin hits $60k

Cryptocurrencies are largely in the green Saturday as traders anticipate the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next week and Bitcoin retests the crucial resistance point at $60,000.

Bitcoin price rose to $60k

  • Celestia (TIA) rose by 12% to $4.50, reaching a high of $4.59 — its highest swing since Aug. 31
  • Popcat (POPCAT) jumped to $0.80, 71% above its lowest level this month.
  • Pepe (PEPE), the popular meme coin, rose by 6% while JasmyCoin (JASMY)
  • MOTHER Iggy (MOTHER) rose by over 5%.

Altogether, the market cap of all coins tracked by CoinGecko jumped to over $2.20 trillion.

This recovery coincided with the performance across other assets. Gold jumped to a record high of $2,580 while American equities continued their rebound. The Dow Jones rose by 0.80% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices rose by 0.55% and 0.60%, respectively. 

The performance happened after the US published encouraging inflation data on Wednesday, raising the chances that the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates on Sep. 18. The data showed that the headline consumer inflation dropped to 2.5%, its lowest level in over two years. 

Risky assets like crypto are expected to do well should the Fed cut rates, as they did in 2020 and 2021; they crashed when interest rates spiked in 2022. 

MicroStrategy continued accumulating BTC

Bitcoin also rose after Michael Saylor revealed that MicroStrategy had acquired an additional 18,300 coins worth $1.1 billion.

It is the biggest corporate holders of Bitcoins with 244,800 in its portfolio.

It also jumped as signs showed that whales and sharks were accumulating the coin. As we wrote, the volume of Bitcoin in exchanges continued falling, hitting the lowest level in years. 

Meanwhile, data from Nansen shows that stablecoin holdings by smart money continued falling.

The chart below shows that these holdings peaked in May 2022 as Terra and its ecosystem crashed, leading to a risk-off sentiment. It then peaked in November 2022 as FTX collapsed.

Still, Bitcoin and altcoins like Celestia, Jasmy, and Pepe face a risk of Bitcoin forming a death cross since the spread between the 50-day and 200-day moving averages has narrowed.

A death cross could lead to more downside. For example, Ethereum has dropped by 15% after forming the pattern in August.Â
