If Bitcoin Jumps, Fed Reserve Might React, Mike McGlone Warns
Mike McGlone, the senior commodity strategist at Bitcoin Intelligence, has returned to the X platform after a break, posting a tweet about Bitcoin, the Federal Reserve, and inflation. He believes that a further Bitcoin price increase would indicate one thing, which the Fed will definitely not like.
Meanwhile, BTC continues to drop and has shed slightly more than a thousand dollars over the past few hours.
Fed Reserve may react if Bitcoin rises: McGlone
Bloomberg’s commodity expert has called the current rise of Bitcoin and gold prices “unsustainable.” Indeed, since last Friday, digital gold has gone down by 6%, falling from the $119,111 local high to the $111,980 level where it is trading at the time of writing this article.
Mike McGlone has drawn the community’s attention to the rise in equities, Treasury bond yields, Bitcoin and gold that has taken place simultaneously. He believes this rally is shaky and unstable and it was “due for some volatility post-summer doldrums.”
The expert explained that is these risk assets, including Bitcoin, continue to ascend, it may lead to inflation and Treasury bonds soaring too. In return, this may trigger the Federal Reserve and make it implement monetary tightening rather than easing and raise the interest rates, contrary to the constant demands of president Donald Trump to do vice versa this year.
