Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies ticked higher in early trading on Monday amid optimism surrounding another rate cut by the U.S. central bank.

Fed Rate Cuts Odd Rise

After dipping as low as $80,500 last week, Bitcoin rebounded on Friday after Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said there is room for further adjustment.

Williams stated that while it is necessary to bring inflation back to the Federal Reserve's long-term goal of 2%, it is equally important to do so without creating undue risks to the goal of maximum employment.

“Therefore, I still see room for a further adjustment in the near term to the target range for the federal funds rate to move the stance of policy closer to the range of neutral, thereby maintaining the balance between the achievement of our two goals,” he said.

According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, over 71% traders have priced in a rate cut in the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting on December 9 and 10, compared with roughly 42% a week ago. Investors will be keenly watching the September retail inflation data, scheduled for Tuesday.
