BTC/USD Live Chart
Bitcoin vs US Dollar, the world's leading cryptocurrency pair.
About this asset
BTC/USD tracks the price of Bitcoin against the US Dollar and is by far the most liquid and widely traded cryptocurrency pair. Bitcoin's price is shaped by a unique interplay of factors: on-chain metrics such as the halving cycle and miner activity, macro variables like real yields and USD strength, institutional demand via ETF flows, and market sentiment driven by regulatory developments and social media momentum. It trades 24/7, meaning positions can be affected by weekend and overnight moves that forex and equity indices traders rarely experience. High volatility and 24/7 trading make precise risk management essential.
