🗞 Bitcoin Price Gets Fed Boost but Bond Yields Could Play Spoilsport
Bitcoin’s bull run looks set to continue after the Federal Reserve reconfirmed its pro-stimulus stance this week.
“The narrative for bitcoin as the preferred store of value has only strengthened in the wake of [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell’s comments,” Matthew Dibb, co-founder and COO of Stack Funds said. “Our outlook on BTC remains very bullish. Recent retracement to $53,000 was a short-lived pullback before the cryptocurrency makes way to fresh all-time highs.”
Powell pushed back against speculation of an early unwinding of monetary stimulus on Wednesday, boosting the appeal of inflation hedges such as bitcoin.
Besides, with the Fed-related uncertainty out of the way, bitcoin and the broader crypto market may now see a stimulus, or “stimmies,” rally, as tweeted by trader Alex Kruger. As per Mizuho Securities’ estimates, Americans may spend nearly $40 billion of the latest round of direct stimulus checks on bitcoin and stocks, boosting their prices.
Yield worries persists
Bitcoin bulls will be keeping an eye on the U.S. bond market because a faster rise in yields could weigh on equities, inviting selling pressure for bitcoin, too.
