Bitcoin’s Strength Amidst Global Turmoil: Insights from QCP Capital
Cryptocurrency research firm QCP Capital has issued its latest market insights, addressing significant trends impacting Bitcoin as the new quarter begins.
The firm links heightened geopolitical tensions and unexpected economic developments to recent market volatility.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has created uncertainty in global financial markets. QCP Capital warned that Iran’s latest military actions might provoke a critical response from Israel, which could target key Iranian facilities.
On the economic side, the firm noted the recent nonfarm payrolls report, which revealed the addition of 254,000 jobs in September—far exceeding the anticipated 150,000—and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.1%. This strong labor market signals resilience, especially compared to last month’s weaker performance.

QCP Capital believes this robust labor market, combined with potential interest rate cuts, supports risk assets like Bitcoin, which briefly surged to $62,000 before retreating. The firm also observed increased trading activity in December call options, reflecting bullish sentiment.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent dip of about 5% from last week’s highs, QCP remains optimistic about the ongoing “Uptober” trend, backed by positive economic indicators. They predict continued volatility in the fourth quarter, but anticipate a strong finish for Bitcoin and other risk assets.
