“European central banks are nearing the end of their tightening cycles. BOE delivered a dovish rally when they clearly signaled that they should not raise interest rates too much, said Edward Moyaa senior market analyst at OANDA.
“The BOE’s outlook was the opposite of what we got from the Fed. The BOE said we could see a two-year recession if the market follows the market curve. The BOE believes the markets are a little aggressive in pricing their rate path.”
On Bitcoin, Moya said: “Stocks are down significantly after feeding, but Bitcoin continues to hover above the $20,000 level. Bitcoin may eventually break here, but this resilience on display should show the markets how confident long-term hodlers remain.”
