The leading cryptocurrency has been stuck at the same price all week despite multiple macroeconomic events that many believe should have catalyzed positive price action.
Fourth of July Lull: Bitcoin Shows Little Movement
Traditional markets were closed for U.S. Independence Day, and although crypto markets never sleep, bitcoin ( BTC) appears to have been in deep slumber all week. The cryptocurrency has stalled at $107K and has been largely unresponsive to multiple macroeconomic developments that have triggered rallies in the stock market.
U.S. President Donald Trump inked a trade deal with Vietnam, the economy added 147,000 jobs, unemployment fell, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) was successfully passed, and the U.S. House of Representatives designated the week of July 14 as “Crypto Week.”
Stock markets reached multiple all-time highs, and despite a 60% correlation with the S&P 500 according to Newhedge at the time of writing, BTC was mostly on the sidelines. Sure, there were a few spikes along the way. After all, the cryptocurrency still has higher volatility than many traditional assets. But for the most part, bitcoin has simply been treading water.
