Edouard Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA noted that Bitcoin’s correlation to US equities remains high. The analyst said flash August PMI readings were below market expectations while new home sales fell in July.
“Financial markets will remain in choppy waters until the Fed Chairman [Jerome Powell’s] Jackson Hole Speech Friday. he may struggle to convince markets that he is comfortable with policy tightening and the onset of a recession,” Moya wrote, in a note seen by Benzinga.
Moya said there was a chance Powell would sing a dovish tune in Jackson Hole and that could end the crypto winter.
“The base-case scenario for Jackson Hole still leans to the hawkish side, as Powell will signal that the Fed may continue to tighten even as the economy weakens. If Bitcoin maintains the $20,000 level this week, that would be very constructive and could open the door to test the region of $25,000.
