BTC price cracks $41K as hopes of peace in Eastern Europe send Bitcoin higher
Bitcoin (BTC) returned above $41,000 prior to the Wall Street open on March 16 as good news from Asia and Russia buoyed stocks.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD maintaining $41,000 as a focus after the Chinese government promised fresh economic support.
Beijing announced the move following weeks of tumultuous action on Chinese markets, with tech stocks suffering particularly badly.
Now, Vice Premier Liu He said, the government would “actively release policies favourable to markets,” press outlets including the South China Morning Post reported.
The result was a strong bounce on local markets, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index gaining over 20% on the day.

Bitcoin also reacted, breaking upward amid a tense geopolitical atmosphere of war in Europe and an impending announcement on interest rates from the United States Federal Reserve.
The latest news from Ukraine–Russia peace talks further buoyed performance, with negotiators reportedly nearing a form of peace plan.
For traders, the short-term outlook was slowly but surely starting to look more promising.
