What to know : Crypto prices surged higher early in the U.S. trading day, sending bitcoin (BTC) back above $90,000. Silver was ahead by nearly 5%, moving to a new record above $66 per ounce; gold and copper were gaining as well. Now the leading contender to be the next Fed chairman, Fed Governor Chris Waller suggested rates are 50-100 basis points above the neutral level.
Crypto prices experienced a rare spike higher just after U.S. stocks opened for trade on Wednesday, taking bitcoin back above the $90,000 level for the first time since last weekend.
Among possible bullish catalysts were continued big gains in metals prices, with silver ahead about 5% to a new record above $66 per ounce. Gold and copper were also each higher by more than 1%.
Now leading in prediction markets to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, current Fed Governor Chris Waller was on the tape with dovish remarks, suggesting the neutral fed funds rate was 50-100 basis points below the level. He added that the U.S. now is close to zero jobs growth and that he doesn't expect a rebound in inflation.
According to Coinglass data, open interest fell from 669k BTC to 665k BTC while the price moved higher. This suggests shorts are covering rather than new leverage entering the market. The move looks like a delveraging rally, driven by shorts closing positions instead of fresh longs piling in.
