The market seems to have positively reacted to the possibility that Powell will continue the FED’s monetary policy. Since 2020, the institution has implemented measures to counteract the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world economy.
This has led to a rise in inflation metrics and in more institutional investors looking for safe-haven assets, such as Bitcoin. Thus, Powell keeping his role at the FED could be bullish for BTC’s price in the long term, as long as inflation remains a valid concern for the market.
In the short term, the FED hinted at the beginning of tapering which has triggered an increase in the U.S. Dollar (DXY Index). The currency has been appreciating since November 10th as experts believe the global market could be at a de-risking phase.
In other words, investors could be abandoning their positions in Bitcoin and other risk assets to find shelter in the U.S. dollar. As of press time, the DXY Index trend to the upside with a 4.54% increase in the 4-hour chart.

Analyst Yuya Hasegawa from Bitbank believes Bitcoin could extend its losses during the week due to the macroeconomic outlook. A potential price range for BTC’s price sits between $52,000 and $65,000, a break above could suggest a change of trend. Hasegawa said:
From a macro perspective, the upward pressure on the US 10-year breakeven inflation rate has been somewhat alleviated due to lower oil prices, suggesting weaker inflation-hedging demand for BTC. But the market’s inflation expectation could rebound on this week’s US PCE announcement on 24. Until then, BTC could extend its loss due to technical factors, with a possible short-term drop to the lower band of Ichimoku cloud ($53.3k), and the $60k psychological level is expected to work as a resistance for the price.
Au moment de l'écriture, Bitcoin has been rejected from $59,500 and moves sideways around $58,000. In the long term, bullish fundamentals remain, but a return to uncharted price territory could prove difficult as there are many variables with apparent influence in the crypto market.
