In keeping with him, the S&P 500 and Bitcoin might break down by 2023 because the US central financial institution “retains going’ with charge hikes.
Increased charges would elevate the ‘fairness danger premium, spelling a bearish outlook for BTC, he famous. On the flip aspect, a decrease fairness danger premium could be bullish for the pioneer cryptocurrency.
