🚀 Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High as Market Momentum Builds
The cryptocurrency market has maintained strong upward momentum over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin (BTC) surged to $124,128 in early trading, marking a new all-time high (ATH) before pulling back slightly to around $121,785 at the time of writing. The total market capitalization now stands at $4.23 trillion.
This rally has been fueled by better-than-expected U.S. CPI data and growing expectations for a September interest rate cut. July CPI was expected to rise to 2.8% but remained steady at 2.7%, creating a positive backdrop for BTC and Ethereum (ETH).
📌 With sentiment improving and macro conditions turning favorable, the market may be primed for fresh highs.
