📊 THE GDP NUMBER EVERYONE
WAS SCARED OF...
...came in better than feared.
Q1 2026 GDP: +2.0% annualized.
Expected: Recession fears.
Feared: Below 0.5%.
Actual: 2.0%.
This is the single most important
number of the week.
Q4 2025 GDP was just 0.5%.
Markets feared a continuation.
Instead the U.S. economy grew
at 2% in Q1 despite:
. Oil near $100 all quarter
. Iran conflict headwinds
. Tariff uncertainty
. Fed rates at 3.75%
A resilient economy at 2% means:
. No emergency rate cuts needed
. No recession panic
. Risk appetite can return
. Crypto gets breathing room
Core PCE inflation: 3.2%.
Still above Fed target.
But not re-accelerating.
Stable inflation + resilient GDP
= Fed holds but does not hike
= Neutral to positive for crypto
BTC responded: back above $77,000.
Up 2% from yesterday's lows. 📈
