This assertion was particularly highlighted by Mathew Sigel, VanEck\u2019s Head of Digital Assets Research, in a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/matthew_sigel\/status\/1914131903570919558\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">note.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>U.S dollar sell-off pumps BTC<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy\u2019s Head of Research, Alex Thorn, and Bitwise\u2019s Andre Dragosch shared a similar view.

Ergo, the DXY weakening (from $100 to $97), driven by President Donald Trump\u2019s threat to fire Fed chair Jerome Powell, allowed the crypto to pump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amberdata\u2019s Greg Madini added that Trump\u2019s moves were a \u201cthreat to Fed independence\u201d and Powell\u2019s replacement would be inflationary. Magadini <a href=\"https:\/\/amberdataderivatives.substack.com\/p\/crypto-options-analytics-april-20th\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">added<\/a> that this would push gold and BTC higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNext week, we have the Fed Beige Book release and multiple Fed governors speaking throughout the week. Any threats against the Fed\u2019s independence could be a catalyst for Gold and BTC to head higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here, it\u2019s worth pointing out that gold hit another all-time high (ATH) on Monday, marking the first positive BTC correlation after decoupling for the past few weeks. <\/p>\n<p>This meant investors fled to gold and BTC as \u2018safe assets\u2019 amid tariff uncertainty. Most traders and analysts acknowledged the <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/bitcoin-stalls-between-82k-86k-range-ruin-or-rebound-ahead\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BTC breakout<\/a> above $87k.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, BTC\u2019s pump was driven by low spot volume and it will need another confirmation during the U.S market\u2019s opening.
