Bitcoin Surges Past $114,000 Amid Rate Cut Hopes


(MENAFN- The Rio Times) TradingView charts and exchange data reveal Bitcoin's climb above $114,000 on September 11, 2025 morning. The cryptocurrency hit this level after U.S. Producer Price Index data eased inflation fears the previous day.

Traders now eye Federal Reserve rate cuts as a key driver. Bitcoin traded between $112,000 and $113,000 on September 10. It closed near $113,000 after breaking resistance at that mark.

Overnight activity pushed it to $114,975 as optimism grew. Ethereum followed suit, rising to $4,409 from $4,300. XRP held steady at $3.00, while Solana reached $221.99 and Litecoin touched $116.27.

Market capitalization expanded to $4.06 trillion, up 2.16% in 24 hours. Bitcoin's dominance sat at 54.38%. Volumes spiked, with Bitcoin's at $56 billion.

Ethereum spot ETFs saw $171.5 million inflows on September 10. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $741.5 million net gains, led by BlackRock and Fidelity funds. Macro factors fueled this rise.



Softer-than-expected PPI data on September 10 suggested inflation cooled to 2.9% year-over-year. This boosted bets on a September Fed rate cut.

Lower rates ease borrowing and draw capital to assets like crypto. Institutional inflows confirmed this shift, as traders rotated from bonds.

Fundamentals strengthened too. Bitcoin's supply remains fixed at 21 million coins. Halving events historically lift prices by curbing new supply.

Ethereum benefits from staking yields above 3%. Solana's fast transactions attract DeFi users. Yet, regulatory talks linger, with SEC reviews on altcoin ETFs.

Technical indicators on the daily chart show bullish signals. The 50-day EMA at $110,000 supports the price. RSI at 65 indicates momentum without overbought risks.

MACD displays a positive crossover, with expanding histogram. Bollinger Bands widen as price nears the upper band at $115,000. Volume confirms the breakout, rising on green candles.

Support holds at $110,000, a prior low. Resistance eyes $120,000 next. Fibonacci retracement from May's $60,000 low points to 61.8% at $114,500 as a key level.

The 4-hour chart mirrors this but adds caution. Price breaks a triangle pattern from August. RSI nears 70, hinting at short-term pullbacks. MACD momentum slows slightly. Volume spikes validate the move, yet narrowing histogram suggests pauses.

The yellow Global Liquidity Index NDQ line trends upward. It correlates with risk assets, rising as central bank liquidity eases. This supports crypto's rally, as more dollars chase yields.

Altcoins mixed in. Litecoin gained 3.2% to $116.27 on whale buys. Solana rose 1.82% amid ETF rumors. Extreme movers included FROGGIE up 1,617.6% on meme hype. LINEA surged 1,118.5% from Layer-2 buzz. PTB fell 38.12% in profit-taking.

Traders watch Fed speeches today. A confirmed rate cut path could push Bitcoin to $120,000. Pullbacks to $112,500 remain possible if sentiment shifts. This mercantile surge highlights crypto's tie to global money flows
