Biden's $1.9T Relief Package Proposal Fails to Stir Bitcoin Market




Bitcoin’s two-day rally has stalled as the U.S. dollar gains ground in the wake of Joe Biden’s fiscal stimulus announcement.




The U.S. President-elect proposed an emergency relief package worth $1.9 trillion at around 00:15 UTC when bitcoin was changing hands near $39,600. At press time, the leading cryptocurrency by market value is trading down near $38,000, according to CoinDesk 20 data.




The lack of a bullish response by the bitcoin market is perhaps surprising, given that fiscal/monetary stimulus is inflationary and bitcoin is widely considered a store of value. Public-listed companies such as MicroStrategy bought bitcoin in the second half of 2020 to preserve the value of their treasury.




The strength of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies could be playing spoilsport. The performance of USD on the Dollar Index (DXY) has affected the cryptocurrency’s price in the past, and the negative correlation between the two assets is strengthening, as noted by CoinDesk Research.




The DXY is currently trading modestly higher on the day near 90.40. Meanwhile, European equities and S&P 500 futures are trading lower, and gold is trading flat, according to data source Investing.com.




“A lot of the optimism surrounding another injection of U.S. fiscal stimulus had already been priced in ahead of the keenly-awaited announcement,” ForexTime market analyst Han Tann noted in his daily analysis. Axios had previously suggested Biden would push for a $3 trillion relief package.




With the stimulus expectations, the dollar is rising, possibly on the back of the classic “sell the rumor, buy the news” trade and capping upside in bitcoin.




Analysts, however, expect the greenback’s bounce to be short-lived. “Biden’s stimulus plan has given some strength to the U.S. dollar. However, it remains firmly bearish for the medium term,” Matthew Dibb, COO, and co-founder of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. “Any further depreciation of the greenback will lead to a bitcoin rally.”

Frank Holmes: Ethereum Will See a Major Push Next Year

As of late, bitcoin appears to be getting the most attention out of all the world’s many cryptocurrencies. The asset has shot up to about $19,000, and many are eager to see if $20,000 is right around the corner. Amidst all the hype and hoopla, however, it appears we’ve forgotten about some of the world’s smaller competitors. Assets such as Ethereum , which according to Frank Holmes – chief executive and chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors – is going to experience a huge bull run sometime next year.

The industry is in urgent need of standardization of mining output, transparent measurement, but the current “standardization” only lies in the “draft”, or “slogan”   Standardization – A Must for Commodity Trading
