**Bitcoin (BTC)**
**$68,444**
The price of Bitcoin is currently holding steady at $68,500, resulting in declines for many altcoins. In the hours ahead, major developments are expected, particularly in light of the upcoming U.S. elections and the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates, both of which are likely to influence mid-term market performance. Analysts are providing a wealth of predictions, and there is much to unpack concerning Warren Buffett’s latest quarterly figures.

**Warren Buffett and Market Movements**
Warren Buffett, the legendary billionaire investor, is best known for his leadership of Berkshire Hathaway. This year, the company has paused its stock repurchase activities and has offloaded over $100 billion in Apple shares. Presently, Berkshire Hathaway has amassed an unprecedented cash reserve of $325 billion.
Buffett is holding a staggering $288 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, which exceeds the assets held by the Federal Reserve. This raises the question: why has Buffett opted for $93 billion in Treasury bonds over the Fed’s holdings? It appears that he is preparing for a potential recession, choosing not to repurchase shares amidst high valuations.
The S&P 500 has surged by 40% since October 2023, marking one of the most significant annual gains in history. Buffett is benefiting from interest earnings on his substantial cash reserves, driven by worries about an impending recession. Should this downturn occur as anticipated, the implications for the cryptocurrency market may not be positive.
**Analysts’ Perspectives on Cryptocurrencies**
In his recent market analysis, Benjamin Cowen highlights the achievement of a market dominance target he has been monitoring for three years. While he cannot definitively pinpoint the peak, he has frequently referenced a threshold of 60%. He expressed his belief that Bitcoin’s dominance will reach its cycle peak within the next two months, although attempting to forecast the exact percentage is unwise.
Another analyst, Z3usCrypto, suggests that we are currently in a consolidation phase before reaching a new all-time high (ATH).
