Analysts Weigh In"},"content":{"rendered":"
The Bitcoin price has risen above $30,000 for the first time since June 2022, continuing the uptrend that began earlier this year. After the price last struggled with resistance at $28,600 on the 1-day chart for over three weeks, the explosive breakout occurred yesterday while both traditional markets and gold remained flat.<\/p>\n
However, as Bitcoinist reported<\/a> in this week’s macro preview, tomorrow will be the most important day of the week, if not the month – and could set the tone for the next few weeks. Wednesday, April 12, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March will be released at 8:30 am EST.<\/p>\n A few hours later, at 2:00 pm EST, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes will become public. The minutes could reveal more details about the Fed’s projections and considerations for its latest interest rate decision in March.<\/p>\n Both events are likely to cause heightened volatility and could be trend-setting for the Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n Analyst Ted (@tedtalksmacro) stated<\/a> in a series of tweets that pre-release is probably a good time to think about de-risking. Still, he believes that the “true resistance is somewhere around $34k.” He reasons that traders are likely to pause on risk before the event.<\/p>\n In general, the CPI release creates the risk that a hot print could force a market-wide revaluation. In addition, new information or wording from the FOMC minutes could influence the market heavily.<\/p>\n “Overall an environment that is conducive to buying the dip, but don’t get caught over extended into the highs,” warns Ted, who also published an analysis<\/a> on the Cleveland Fed’s prediction for tomorrow’s CPI inflation numbers.<\/p>\nHow To Trade Bitcoin Ahead Of CPI?<\/h2>\n
