Markets are entering the final days of April facing a packed macro calendar, with interest-rate decisions due from four major central banks — the Bank of Japan, U.S. Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of England.
These policy updates arrive alongside key U.S. data releases, including first-quarter GDP and March PCE inflation, both critical for shaping expectations around the Fed’s outlook. At the same time, earnings season remains in focus, with results from Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood, and major technology firms expected to influence broader market sentiment.
Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO, said bitcoin (BTC), trading near $76,700, is approaching the week with momentum building around the $78,000 level. While the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, he noted that persistent inflation could reinforce a hawkish tone, raising the likelihood of a near-term pullback toward the $72,000–$74,000 range.
He added that earnings from large-cap tech companies will be a key driver for markets, given their significant impact on equity performance and risk appetite. Meanwhile, geopolitical developments — particularly around U.S.–Iran negotiations — could further steer sentiment through movements in oil prices and the U.S. dollar.
