The price of Bitcoin reached a one-month high after central banks cut interest rates in September, with analysts expecting the upward trend to continue.
In the past 30 days, the price of Bitcoin has risen nearly 5 percent, climbing to over $65,000 on Thursday, September 26, marking its highest level since August 26. However, at the time of writing, BTC has lost some of its gains and is trading around $64,680.
The rally is believed by many to be due to easing policies by global central banks. Cryptocurrencies have benefited greatly from central banks’ commitments to cut interest rates.
