Bitcoin had a rough start to the week when weak Chinese data and a drop in the S&P500 index pushed the BTC/USDt pair down to $27,666. It seemed that things would get worse, but from May 2, a recovery phase began thanks to the dollar index decline and support from U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Bitcoin climbed to $28,879.

However, there is still a risk for the U.S. economy: if Congress does not agree to raise the national debt limit, the government will not be able to borrow more money and could face a serious crisis. Since 1980, the U.S. government has shut down several times due to the failure to raise the national debt limit, including shutdowns in 1990, 1995-1996, 2013, and 2018-2019. Democrats and Republicans don’t seem too concerned about this.

After the release of data on the U.S. labor market on May 4, the BTC/USDt pair reached $29,677. However, investors are still cautious as buying activity in cryptocurrency remained low.

Meanwhile, news emerged that the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into Binance for possible violations of anti-Russian sanctions. Binance representatives, on their part, said that the company follows all U.S. and international financial sanctions.
