Key Insights:
- Crypto markets are witnessing slight increases, aligning with rising U.S. equities. Bitcoin’s price hovers around $84,000.
- Although there’s a rebound from previous lows, strategist Joel Kruger from LMAX cautions that a sustained dip in U.S. stocks could reduce Bitcoin to $73,000-$74,000.
- With the Federal Reserve anticipated to maintain their interest rates, David Duong from Coinbase notes that potential adjustments in the central bank’s balance sheet warrant investor attention.
Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a rise above $84,000 on Monday, buoyed by another bullish day for U.S. equities, lifting risk assets across the board. The CoinDesk 20 index saw a 2.4% increase alongside Bitcoin’s performance.
Ethereum (ETH) also rebounded, stabilizing above $1,900. Notable altcoins such as AAVE, ICP, and NEAR saw gains exceeding 5%.
The broader market sentiment, influenced by ongoing trends in key U.S. stock indices, is fostering optimism among risk asset investors. However, Joel Kruger highlights potential concerns regarding global trade tensions and a volatile U.S. economic outlook, alerting investors to the possibility of further declines in stock and cryptocurrency prices.
Quote:
“When we consider the state of global trade tension and concerns around a slowdown in the US economy, all at a time when it’s increasingly uncertain how much more accommodation the Fed can offer, there is indeed worry stocks could fall further,” Kruger stated.
Kruger indicated a likelihood for Bitcoin to revisit 2024’s peak if market conditions remain stable. Duong, emphasizing macroeconomic variables, suggests that the recent downturn in the crypto sector was spurred by liquidity issues but may recover as conditions improve later this year.
