Bitcoin saw a modest rise on Monday, gaining 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Despite the uptick, the world’s largest cryptocurrency remains largely rangebound, fluctuating between $60,000 and $70,000 since mid-March.
Market sentiment has been buoyed by optimism over potential interest rate cuts by major central banks this week. The dollar’s recent weakness has also contributed to Bitcoin’s steady climb.
Expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September increased after Friday’s data indicated some cooling in inflation. However, the central bank is widely anticipated to keep rates steady at its meeting next week.
