<p>After opening the week on a bearish note, Bitcoin (<a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) led the altcoin industry in a general rebound in the past 48 hours. The flagship coin rallied around 2 percent in the past 24 hours to reach a daily high of about $57,267. Consequently, the total crypto market cap rallied around 3 percent to reach $2.1 trillion on Wednesday during the early European session.</p> 
<p>The notable rebound in Bitcoin and crypto in the past two days has occurred in tandem with major global stock indexes.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Furthermore, the US has scheduled to begin its treasury buyback operations today and continue in the coming weeks for a total of about $50 billion.</p>

Bitcoin's rapid bounce back to $57K came immediately after social media proclaimed we were about to see $40K-$45K BTC again. Instant bounces after bearish sentiment is a common theme throughout 2024. <a href="https://t.co/w1LfPZNaqH">pic.twitter.com/w1LfPZNaqH</a></p>— Santiment (@santimentfeed) <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1820921893555233008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 6, 2024</a>

<p>The recent <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin price</a> rebound has coincided with a significant drop in the fear and greed index to below 20 percent, which indicates extreme fear. However, on-chain data shows that long-term Bitcoin investors have been on a buying expedition regardless of price volatility.</p>

<p>According to on-chain data from Santiment, Bitcoin whales purchased more than 30k BTC units in the past two days, worth approximately $1.62 billion. Consequently, the Bitcoin supply on centralized exchanges has dwindled in the past few days.</p> 
<p>Nevertheless, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have performed poorly in the past three days compared to Ethereum’s. On Tuesday, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a net cash outflow of about $148 million led by Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC.</p>

<p>Having retested the psychological support level around $49k in the recent crash, Bitcoin price has signaled a possible rebound to a new all-time high soon. According to veteran trader Peter Brandt, the current post-halving corrections for Bitcoin price are similar to the 2015-2017 cycle.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>However, Brandt reminds traders that post-halving corrections in the past two cycles indicate that a new bull cycle high could be many weeks from now.</p>
