Bitcoin
Bitcoin remains stuck around the $30,000 level as Wall Street awaits any US Bitcoin ETF update and as market expectations for a 25 basis point hike at the next Fed meeting seems very likely. Stocks are looking a little toppy ahead of earnings and that might mean risk aversion might be ready to make a return. Bitcoin got a strong vote of confidence from Standard Chartered, with a price target of $50,000 this year and $120,000 for 2024. Miner profitability was one of the key reasons for the elevated price targets, but that might not be as easy as electricity costs grow and over surging debt payments
Bitcoin appears locked in a range, but that might continue as we may have to wait months before getting any concrete ETF updates.
