Markets are leaving April with a plethora of macro events to watch. The four major central banks, the Bank of Japan, the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England, all set interest rate policy this week.

At the top is a slate of US data including first-quarter GDP and March PCE inflation, as well as earnings from Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood and some big tech companies, whose results could either reinforce or unwind the current tone.

XYO co-founder Marcus Levine told CoinDesk that Bitcoin BTC$77,856.07 Entering the week “with strong momentum around the $78,000 level, and while the Fed is expected to keep rates unchanged, continued inflation could reinforce a bearish tone and we could see Bitcoin pull back to the $72,000–$74,000 range again in the short term.”

Levin added that the tech giants’ earnings “could also be a key signal in reinforcing or challenging current momentum given their large influence on equity markets, while developments around the US-Iran talks will drive sentiment through oil and dollar movements.”
