Oct 07

0700 GMT - Bitcoin pulls back as traders take profits after the cryptocurrency reached a fresh record high in the previous session. The earlier rally was driven by institutional demand, macroeconomic tailwinds and seasonal momentum, Deus X Pay director of trading James Madden says in a note. Spot exchange-traded fund inflows reached $3.2 billion for the week ended October 3. Macroeconomic factors include bets for further Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and bitcoin's rising correlation to gold prices amid the U.S. government shutdown, he says. Bitcoin has also historically tended to rise in October. Bitcoin falls 1.1% to $123,923 after reaching a high of $126,223 on Monday, LSEG data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
