Bitcoin Jumped a Bit Following Easing of Recession Fears

Bitcoin – along with several other leading digital currencies like Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana – rose quite a bit in recent weeks and was trading for just over $24,000. Many analysts assumed that $25,000 was right around the corner.

Bitcoin Has Jumped a Few Thousand BucksThere appear to be several reasons as to why bitcoin suddenly surged, a big one being that recession fears are starting to dwindle. There have been several worries permeating the financial space as of late that 2008 is likely to occur all over again given the present state of the economy. Inflation is at a 40-year high, and things like food and gas prices are jumping like they never have before. For these reasons, many were concerned the economies of super nations like the U.S. were on the verge of collapsing.

In addition, the U.S. has now had two individual and consecutive periods of GDP contraction, which is usually a big indicator that a recession is coming. However, many analysts believe that the Fed is likely to continue hiking interest rates in the coming months as a means of combating inflation and other economic issues. For this reason, they believe that a recession could be avoided, though it may mean that Americans will wind up paying high prices for some time.
