Bitcoin retreated slightly as traders waited for important economic numbers from the United States. The BTC/USD pair was trading at 59,115 on Tuesday morning, a few points below last week's high of almost 63,000 US economic data
Bitcoin and other
financial assets are waiting for the upcoming US economic data that will set the tone for the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium.
The US will release the important inflation data on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first report will be its producer price index, which, while important, will have a limited impact on financial assets.

Instead, traders will focus on the country's consumer price index (CPI) set for Wednesday. These numbers will confirm whether the country's inflation is falling as it has done in the past three straight months.
Inflation numbers are important for Bitcoin and other assets because of the impact on monetary policy. Together with the labor market, inflation forms part of the Fed's dual mandate.
The other important data that could impact Bitcoin and other assets will be the country's retail sales, manufacturing, and industrial production report.
Bitcoin also reacted mildly to an interview between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In it, Trump reiterated his support for cryptocurrencies. In a recent statement, Trump noted that his government will maintain its 213k Bitcoin holdings.
However, there are risks that Trump could lose the election as polls show that Kamala Harris has a higher chance. Still, historically, Bitcoin has done well under presidents of both parties. It rose to a record high during Obama, Trump, and Joe Biden/USD technical analysis
The BTC/USD pair retreated as the recent bullish momentum faded. On the daily chart, it moved below the key support at 60,000. It has also moved below the first support of the Andrew's pitchfork tool.
Bitcoin has also fallen below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) while the MACD indicator has dropped below the neutral point. Therefore, the path of the least resistance for the pair is bearish, with the next level to watch being at 55,000. On the flip side, a move above the resistance at 62,000 will open the possibility of it rising to 65,000 in the coming weeks.
