Factors that Contributed to the Crypto Rally Today
Crypto Short Squeeze
The cryptocurrency market registered palpable gains in the last 24 hours, largely attributed to a major short squeeze. With over $624 million liquidated from the crypto market, more leveraged crypto traders have been attempting to long Bitcoin and the altcoin market to capitalize on the ongoing bullish breakout.
As a result, the crypto market could run further in the coming weeks, fueled by FOMO traders attempting to pump prices higher.
High Demand from Institutional Investors
Ethereum, currently sitting at $3.12K, is finally showing the growth that helped it climb to the #2 ranked market cap asset in crypto, largely staying in this position throughout the past 8 years.

The demand for both Bitcoin and the altcoin market has significantly spiked in the recent past, following the expected crypto parabolic rally. With Gold and major stock indexes having reached a major mid-term resistance level, more investors have been rotating their funds to the crypto market to maximize their profits.
In addition to spot Bitcoin ETFs registering a net cash inflow of over $7.2 billion in the past five weeks, the US spot Ether ETFs registered the highest weekly cash inflow of about $154 million.

The cryptocurrency market gained more bullish momentum over the weekend following the positive high-impact news from the United States last week. After the conclusion of the U.S. 2024 elections, more pro-crypto candidates, led by President-elect Donald Trump, won by a huge margin.Â
As a result, the United States is expected to pass a bill soon to purchase 1 million BTCs over the next five years to counter its national debt crisis, of over $35 trillion.
Meanwhile, both the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England initiated a quarter cut of the respective interest rates to trigger economic growth in the short term. With China having approved a $1.4 trillion economic boost ahead, the global liquidity is expected to grow exponentially, and potentially impact the ongoing crypto bullish outlook.
