ביטקאָין רעדזשיסטערז גיינז בעשאַס דער ערשטער וואָך פון 2023; וואָס איז ווייַטער פֿאַר BTC?

After ending 2022 in a סיידווייז טריידינג מוסטער, די פּרייַז פון ביטקאָין (בטק) has kicked off the new year with short-term gains, although the value still languishes below key שטיצן לעוועלס. ביטקאָין is also attempting to build momentum towards new levels while seeking inspiration from elements such as macroeconomic news.

Indeed, by press time on January 6, Bitcoin was valued at $16,758, with gains of about 6.6% over the last week. The weekly chart shows that Bitcoin’s 2023 peak stood at $16,721 on January 4. 

Despite the gains, Bitcoin investors are looking for a possible bottom to usher in a new rally for the maiden קריפּטאָקוררענסי. Currently, the $17,000 level remains a key resistance position for BTC. 

Impact of macroeconomic news on BTC’s price

באַזירט אויף די לעצטע פּרייַז באַוועגונג, קריפּטאָ טריידינג expert and analyst Michaël van de Poppe in a tweet on January 6, סטייטיד that Bitcoin is at support while identifying key לאַנג שטעלעס to look out for, especially with key macroeconomic data coming out. 

“It [Bitcoin] needs to hold above $16.6K to avoid a puke to low $16K and to sustain upward momentum. In that regard, with the data today, I’d be looking at bit lower for longs towards $17K,” he said. 

Bitcoin’s possible rally toward $17,000 can partly find a boost after the United States recorded an unemployment rate of 3.5% in December from the 3.7% witnessed in November 2022. Furthermore, the U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in December, higher than the estimated 200,000.

With Bitcoin being impacted by the Federal Reserve monetary policies, the jobs data will be crucial since it forms part of the institution’s interest rate hike decision.

דערצו, קריפּטאָ ינוועסטערז will be looking at the release of ISM. Notably, the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) is responsible for measuring the Purchasing Managers’ Index or PMI for both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors across the U.S.

At the same time, crypto sector players anticipate a mixed 2023 for Bitcoin, with a section expecting further effects from incidents such as FTX collapse, while others project the 2024 halving event as a significant catalyst for the flagship crypto.
