The official inflation rate for March showed a 5% increase year-on-year, which was slightly less than the 5.1% consensus. Although this was the lowest reading since May 2021, it is still significantly higher than the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.The data shows that inflation is no longer the driving force behind the Bitcoin rally, and investors are turning their focus to potential recession risks after the banking crisis that exposed how fragile the financial system is following the Federal Reserve’s raising of interest rates from 0.10% to 4.85%. Many warning signs of a macroeconomic slowdown have emerged, such as the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank and the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS.The latest ISM Purchasing Managers Index data fell to its lowest level since May 2020, indicating an economic contraction. According to Federal Reserve documents released on April 12th, a “mild recession” is likely to occur later this year after the US banking crisis. Although there is speculation that the Fed will avoid raising interest rates due to the crisis, officials confirmed that more effort is needed to control inflation.According to a Moody’s Analytics report, commercial real estate prices fell 1.6% in February, the largest decline since the 2008 financial crisis. In addition, the national office vacancy rate reached 16.5%, indicating the severity of the economic challenges businesses are currently facing.Despite the FUD, including the SEC’s Wells Notice to Coinbase on March 22nd and the CFTC’s lawsuit against Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao on March 27th, Bitcoin has shown resistance by maintaining the $30,000 support, indicating that positive momentum can continue even if inflation remains above 5%.<h2 id="header-1">Bulls Better Positioned as Weekly BTC Options Expire</h2>Traders who bet on a decline using Bitcoin options, especially, are not happy with the rally.
