This pattern continues with other key US indices, such as the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, which rose 1.1% and 0.8%, respectively, canceling out the downward momentum. It is manifested in the decline of tensions within the Middle East and the good earnings figures obtained by these tech giants.
David Donabedian, the investment chief of CIBC, said on April 22 that the rise of bond yields, high inflation rates, and speculation of a Fed rate cut caused the market to slow down on Barron newspaper. He underlined that some of the largest companies in the top 50 positions will announce their quarterly earnings this week, which could possibly cause high market volatility.
According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, the BTC price has jumped 4.5% since the event; now, it is at US$66,810. Prior to the event, market analysts envisaged a mixed trend for the cryptocurrency's value after the halving.
