Expected price increase
Many analysts believe monetary and financial measures recently announced by central banks and governments across the globe to combat the recession due to Corona will be a bode for Bitcoin.
Mike Alfred, CEO of Digital Assets Data said:
“Cryptocurrencies can reach all-time highs because the macro context is quite beneficial for Bitcoin with expected trillions of dollars of liquidity. will be put into the system ”.
According to JPMorgan, 22 countries have announced fiscal stimulus policies in the past two weeks or equivalent to 75% of global gross domestic product (GDP).

Luuk Strijers, CCO at the crypto exchange Deribit, commented:
"This printing of money and lowering of interest rates could actually become the driving force for greater interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat."
However, so far, electronic money Always try to be detached from the stock market. In fact, the positive correlation ended last week at $ 5,870 despite a US Senate decision to approve a $ 2 trillion fiscal stimulus file, which was later passed by the House of Representatives. approved and signed by President Donald Trump to enact the law.
CEO Ashish Singhal of CoinSwitch.co said:
"Cryptocurrencies will continue to correlate with the stock market in the second quarter and the path of revival can only come in early Q3."
However, according to Singhal, the downward move may be limited in the near future as cryptocurrencies are considered a barrier to the government's massive inflation-boosting policies.
Bitcoin is often advertised as such a fence because the fixed supply and supply expansion rate decreases by 50% every 4 years through the halving process.
Potential increase after halving Bitcoin
"Historically, halving has led to major economic growth for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies," according to CEO Brandon Mintz of Bitcoin Depot ATM service provider.
Matthew Dibb, co-founder and COO of Stack Funds, hopes the reward reduction event will create pressure on Bitcoin's price increase in the next 2 months.
"Investors will look for their positions in anticipation of a rapid price rise after halving."
However, reiterate that the outlook for advance before and after halving is quite low according to optional market data.
