<h3>BTC's price fell to two-week lows.</h3>
<p>Bitstamp's BTC/USD rate hit a 12-day low of $43,801, down more than 7% from the month's high. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that.</p>
<p>Move: Analysts were looking at macro factors instead of new buy-ins from MicroStrategy and Terra for the next BTC price boost.</p>
<p>Portfolio manager Jeroen Blokland at Robeco said that the U.S. 10-year treasury yield, which has been going up all year, should turn around and give risk assets a break.</p>
<p>"We aren't there yet," he said, but he warned that day.</p>

<p>The U.S. Federal Reserve has said that May should be the start of "aggressive" balance sheet reduction, which means that "easy money" policy is over. This could be a countermove.</p>
<p>Future Fed vice chair Lael Brainard said this week that it's very important to get inflation down. Brainard was quoted by the Financial Times and other media outlets.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Accordingly, the committee will continue tightening monetary policy methodically through a series of interest rate increases and by starting to reduce the balance sheet at a rapid pace as soon as our May meeting.&rdquo;</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Inflation continued to hurt people's feelings outside of the United States, with eurozone annual producer prices rising by the most on record in February. This was more than 31%. Coming before the Russia&ndash;Ukraine war, it's possible to see even more high readouts in the future, though</p>

<h3>The current spot price zone is very important to keep.</h3>
<p>A bad situation meant that price watchers were willing to give the spot a break and say that $44,000 was a good place to start.</p>

<p>If you want to avoid a dive that could send the market down to $37,000, a private fund manager and CryptoQuant contributor named Gaah said that $44,400 was the level to defend. This would keep the market from going down.</p>
<p>Crypto Ed, a trader, said, "Something isn't right, and the coming days will show what's going on."</p>
<p>In his most recent YouTube video, he said that if he didn't hold $45,000, that would open up the low $43,000s.</p>
