Trump to Speak at Nashville Bitcoin Conference
BRN analyst Valentin Fournier observed a similar trend, saying he expected a volatile week ahead due to several key events, including Donald Trump’s Bitcoin 2024 speech, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows, and the U.S. GDP and Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index reports released on Thursday.
“Former President Trump’s Bitcoin 2024 speech is highly anticipated, with speculation that he will announce the creation of the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. Such an announcement could act as a major catalyst, potentially sending Bitcoin above its previous highs. If Trump makes a positive statement about Bitcoin, the price could surge,” Fournier told The Block. He added that expectations of an imminent rate cut could also fuel bullish sentiment toward Bitcoin.
