Analysts predicted a US recession based on GDP

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView tracked the BTC/USD pair as it tested the $23,000 support after a rally following the Federal Reserve’s rate hike the previous day.

the momentum benefited from US GDP data, which fell for the second quarter in a row, which met the demands of the recession in the economy.

The situation was unclear, however, thanks to comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the White House, who both insisted that no recession had come or even expected.

Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe has abstract The strange status quo of the day in these terms: “Although Powell said the United States is not in recession, GDP figures have given two consecutive quarters of negative growth, which means the United States is in recession!

US stocks opened flat, and bitcoin did not stay on its full trajectory after hitting $23,450 overnight.

Van de Poppe added that regardless of the state of the economy, BTC traders should not only act on the latest news.

“Now that we know the US is in recession, does that mean we have to adjust our trade strategies? No! The term ‘recession’ doesn’t represent ‘any variable you can work with,’ another Twitter post read.

Meanwhile, the trader and analyst Gareth Soloway predicted tougher times for risk asset investors, as a deeper recession was inevitable due to Fed rate hikes.

#GDP comes out -0.9%. Markets sell first, then rally as investors love the fall #Dollars and the probability that the #Federal Reserve they can no longer raise rates aggressively. So risk on for now until the market realizes that the Fed can’t print us out of a bad recession. #Bitcoin

The #GDP stands at -0.9%. Markets sell first, then rally as investors appreciate the lower #Dollar and the likelihood that the #FederalReserve can no longer raise rates aggressively. So we have to risk it for now, until the market realizes that the Fed can’t get us out of a bad recession. #Bitcoin — Gareth Soloway (@GarethSoloway) July 28, 2022.

Anyone who thought the GDP numbers were good, or believes the @WhiteHouse releasing a new definition of recession days before GDP is a coincidence, is delusional. There are signs of a recession.
