Bitcoin price surged past $87,000 today, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing bull market. With gold hitting new highs and the U.S. dollar facing pressure from anticipated interest rate cuts, investors are again seeking alternative stores of value. 20% off since January, Bitcoin’s price has aligned with gold’s movement more than equities, highlighting its appeal as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Altcoins like XRP, ADA, BNB, and ETH saw modest gains of up to 1.5%, while Solana (SOL) surged by 5.2% over the week following losses on Thursday. This surge highlights crypto’s resilience as investors turn towards its stability during market uncertainty.
