Hyperlane (HYPER) Airdrop Claim Now Open

On April 22nd, Jeff Kendrick, an analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that if concerns regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve continue, Bitcoin may reach a new all-time high. Due to its decentralized ledger, cryptocurrency acts as a hedge against risks in the existing financial system. The risk in U.S. Treasuries was emphasized when President Trump hinted at removing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell because of his desire for rate cuts. The premium on the yields of long-dated Treasuries over short-dated ones soared, which benefited Bitcoin. Bitcoin rose to a six-week high of $90,459. Standard Chartered Bank still forecasts that by the end of 2025, the price of Bitcoin will rise to $200,000. (FX678)

On April 22nd, the analyst Adam from Greek.Live posted on social media, saying, "The crypto community is showing a cautious bullish sentiment. Some traders think that after Bitcoin breaks through $90,000, the next target will be $93,000 or $100,000. However, some traders are still worried about market weakness and are focusing on the potential retracement to the $84,000 support level or even $74,000 before a significant uptrend. Despite the current price volatility, the volatility has not increased, which makes it difficult to hold a bearish options position. Some traders who previously held short positions have begun to shift to buying Bitcoin in the spot market."
