One of the reasons for the BTC growth was positive news from the stock market. This week, the largest companies of the so -called “magnificent seven” (Magnify Seven) began to report. The revenue results for the first quarter of the year, for example, Microsoft were higher than expectations.

Showed In the fourth quarter of last year. In addition, the number of applications for unemployment benefits last week
it turned out Significantly higher than expectations (224,000) and amounted to 241,000. The weak data increased the number of speculations on the topic of a possible recession in the United States, to prevent which the Fed may resort to a decrease in the key rate. For example, this opinion
adheres to Famous cryptoanalyst Michael Van Van de Poppe):

“A big miss on GDP. Rumors about a possible recession are growing, which should strengthen the position on the softening of the Fed’s policy. We will probably see the bottom in the markets, liquidity will be added, and risky assets will flourish. ”
