April is proving to be a particularly strong month this year for both Bitcoin and U.S. stocks as the two major markets further solidify their positive momentum. Bitcoin and stocks have entered one of their most historically successful seasons, with past data showing gains for both in April in 6 out of the past 10 years. U.S stocks benchmark S&P 500 has averaged a return of 2.6% in the same period, while Bitcoin has marked an average return of 17%. Additionally, Ethereum saw an impressive average return of 46% throughout this month.

These strong gains can be attributed to the decreasing inflation rate, which was officially marked in the Friday data release. This data revealed that the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge cooled down in February, suggesting that aggressive monetary tightening may no longer be required, much to the joy of both markets.

Markus Thielen, head of research and strategy at Matrixport, predicts a rise in all risk assets this year, especially as we enter April, a month of historically strong performances. He specifically states that the recent rally in U.S. stocks should have positive effects on the rest of the market, including the cryptocurrency sphere, which has been particularly successful on the year.

Indeed, the cryptocurrency market is the living proof of this speculation, as Bitcoin rose 23% in March alone and is currently up 67% year to date. Meanwhile, U.S stocks benchmark S&P 500 is up 7%.

April is often seen as the most positive period of the year for both stocks and cryptocurrency, with the two markets entering a successful season accompanied by a decrease in inflation rate. This shows a strong performance potential in the coming weeks, with both markets predicted to make large gains.
