Bitcoin Tops Assets in January, Altcoin Surge Nears
Bitcoin notched a 9.19% gain in January 2025, outpacing gold’s 2-3% rise and the S&P 500’s 1-2% uptick, global market data confirms.
Now at $96,000 on February 19, 2025, it trails January’s $9,000 climb from $93,000, despite $35 billion in 2024 ETF inflows. Crypto expert Valter Rebelo shifts attention to February, a month he deems historically favorable.
Rebelo predicts low-cost altcoin, priced in cents, jumps around February 24, 2025, during his free online event. He connects this to the Fed’s steady 4.25%-4.5% rates and a milder tone, as the dollar index slips to 104 and 10-year yields settle at 4.3%.
Past Februaries, like 2018’s 20-30% altcoin gains, fuel Rebelo’s view, especially with Bitcoin steadying at $96,000. The Fed’s 2.5% GDP growth and 3% inflation suggest room for cuts, supporting crypto.
A weaker dollar and capped yields steer funds to crypto, Rebelo observes, noting February altcoin rallies in his eight-year study. He insists on coins with real value, not hype, for this window. Brazil’s real at R$5.55 and 4.5% inflation make crypto a draw there too.
Bitcoin eyes $150,000-$250,000 in 2025, analysts say, with BlackRock’s $250 billion ETF stake in play. Yet, at $96,000, it faces 10-15% daily swings, a risk Rebelo’s event aims to navigate with altcoin picks. Investors brace for turbulence, eyeing gains as February progresses.
