This week, Bitcoin has led the recovery in cryptocurrency markets. The Fed's indirect monetary policy expansion has increased demand for riskier assets, which has benefited Bitcoin. The following resistance levels for BTC above the current price levels are $26,750, $27,500, and $28,730. This week, Bitcoin has been on a steep upswing, leading the cryptocurrency market rebound as the potential of the US banking crisis becoming a worldwide concern is priced in.
As the Federal Reserve decided to tighten monetary policy in November 2021, cryptocurrency markets began a long-term decline from their heights. The events of this week have contributed to a rally.
For the first time since 2008, the US Federal Reserve purchased the failed Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank bonds before opening a discount window for struggling banks.
As a result of the bond purchases, the Fed's balance sheet increased by nearly $300 billion, according to figures released yesterday. The demand for hazardous assets surged due to this indirect monetary expansion.
On the other side, following the bank collapses, demand for cryptos, particularly Bitcoin, increased. Withdrawals to external wallets have also increased dramatically.
