Bitcoin bulls were quite pleased on Saturday morning when Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal shared the “Automatic BOOST to Communities Act” published by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
While all politicians in the U.S. have responded to the coronavirus outbreak by proposing stimulus, Tlaib’s took the cake for being extreme. The program she proposed, which included a temporary Universal Basic Income, was to get the U.S. Mint to issue “two $1 trillion platinum coins” which the Federal Reserve would purchase, crediting $2 trillion to the Mint.
Although some have deemed this measure necessary to ensure the economy doesn’t crumble further, many in the Bitcoin space have laughed, arguing that this news only proves the absurdity of fiat economics.
Bullish For Bitcoin
Bitcoin bulls have understandably been pleased by this proposal. President of the Nakamoto Institute Michael Goldstein jokingly remarked in response to the news: “don’t worry, you will be able to buy a fraction of a Bitcoin with a $1 trillion coin.”
This was in evident reference to the belief amongst certain economists and analysts that this plan will cause rampant inflation of the money supply in the U.S., which should theoretically result in the rapid inflation of goods.

Others in the cryptocurrency space echoed this, writing how the incessant printing of money by authorities will only cause inflation, thereby proving the value of Bitcoin, which is algorithmically limited to a supply of 21 million coins.
Money Printing Gone Mainstream
Even if this extreme plan doesn’t become reality, the U.S. government and Federal Reserve have already announced dramatic stimulus measures that analysts say will prove Bitcoin’s value as a disinflationary asset.
On Tuesday, the White House announced emergency measures to save the economy.
The measures include the sending of cheques to every American — what many have dubbed in the Bitcoin space believe is “Helicopter Money” — to help cover the cost of living while unemployment rises and billions of dollars worth of small business loans and “stabilization funds.”
Along with these measures, the Federal Reserve — the American central bank — has announced its own efforts to keep the economy stable. These include but are not limited to:
$700 billion in large-scale asset purchases, open market operations, quantitative easing, or whatever you want to call it; $200 million of mortgage-backed securities and $500 billion in Treasuries will be purchased by the Fed.
An abolishment to reserve requirements: banks don’t need to hold any of your money on-hand, a far cry from the bearer asset that is Bitcoin.
An emergency policy interest rate cut of one whole percent, 100 basis points.
BitMEX’s research team released a report Tuesday on the matter of fiscal and monetary stimulus in this macro environment. They concluded that while they can’t predict when it will come, there will be an inflationary shock potentially on the levels of the 1970s (7% to 15% inflation per annum) that will change the economic paradigm as a result of the stimulus.
They wrote that this will only help Bitcoin:
In our view, in this changed economic regime, where the economy and financial markets are set loose, with no significant anchor at all, not even inflation targeting, it could be the biggest opportunity Bitcoin has seen, in its short lifetime.

Bitcoin bulls have their hands full in the next days to carry out a strong advance to lift BTC out of the pit. Throughout today’s trading session, the market’s performance has been bullish.
Bitcoin has found it difficult to break higher over the past two days, with bulls hemmed within the $42-$44k. The pioneer cryptocurrency, which last week came close to retesting support levels seen in late January, raced to highs near $45,000 earlier this week as it briefly decoupled from stocks.
Bitcoin remains range bound in lower timeframes trading at $54,277. The first cryptocurrency by market cap records almost no gains in the daily chart, but a massive 23. 9% in the 7-day chart. The general sentiment in the market has flipped bullish, as investors seem to be waiting for further appreciation in Q4, 2021, a period that usually works for the bulls.

Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto markets have had a bullish start to 2020, with BTC surging from its recent lows of $6,800 that were set when bulls attempted to spark a sharp sell off earlier this week.
After months of brutal downtrend, it seems that bulls are returning to the Bitcoin (BTC) market. Since the leading cryptocurrency hit $6,400 earlier this month, bulls have taken control of the asset, pushing it from those multi-month lows to as high as $7,700 just this morning prior to a 4% drop.
After incurring tremendous volatility throughout the latter part of October and the majority of November, Bitcoin appears to have now entered a period of consolidation as its bulls and bears send BTC between the upper and lower boundaries of a tight trading range.
Bitcoin’s bulls and bears have been engaged in a heated battle over the past several days and weeks, with BTC’s latest bout of volatility being a sharp downtrend that followed its recent attempt to surge past $8,000.

According to a notable technical analyst, the recent Bitcoin price drop significantly deteriorated the case for a pending market reversal, signaling that bulls must do a significantly greater amount of work in order to reverse the persisting bear market.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $7,348. Last week’s bullish momentum subsided at the $8,250 region, where bulls stood their ground for seven days before overbought conditions turned the tide in favor of the bears, who started to reassert their dominance in the market.

The bulls are back baby! Sort of anyway…
Today the markets are starting to sway back in a positive direction, though as it stands the majority of cryptocurrencies are still down. Because Bitcoin is now moving up once again, we can be certain that the past few negative days have simply been down to correction and nothing more.
Bitcoin might be done with its correction and could aim for the Fib extension levels next if the climb resumes.
