On Bitcoin Yahoo Finance top movers list, BTC leads crypto gains as dollar index weakens to 104. “The US shutdown injects a new variable, removing critical macro data and amplifying uncertainty,” said Timothy Misir, head of research at BRN. “Options markets already reflect this fragility, with traders hedging for drawdowns. At the same time, bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) options remain cheap relative to realized volatility.” Bitcoin’s price pop also comes after the Federal Reserve made a 0.25% interest rate cut last month, the first since December 2024. Market expectations for future cuts are high, with the CME’s FedWatch tool clocking in a 96% chance of a subsequent 0.25% cut in October and 86% chance for yet another in December. Bitcoin Yahoo Finance indicators reveal funding rates holding positive for five consecutive days, favoring long positions. Market liquidity depth has increased, suggesting smoother execution for institutional traders entering large orders.
