While other risk assets such as stocks surged on Tuesday and quelled recession fears, price action in the two largest currencies remained largely range-bound.

The latest GDPNow report from the Atlanta Fed showed growth of just 0.9% in the second quarter.

Cryptocurrencies may decouple from equities, although stocks may surge after inflation spikes.

“Bitcoin’s correlation with stocks could break down, which could lead to greater volatility in the near term. If Bitcoin dips below $28,000, things could get bad as prices may not find support until $25,500, “Moya wrote in a report seen by Benzinga.

Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe tweeted that the odds of a June rally are increasing and that aliens are doing better by the day. He claims to record a 50-100% relief rally like the 50-100% that altcoins have experienced.

Easily, the odds of a relief rally this month are increasing as #BITCOIN resumes the entire movement. #ALTCOINS is also starting to look better in the daily time frame.

This could be a 50-100% relief bounce for them.

​Get ready.
