He highlighted the importance of upcoming economic data releases in Bitcoin’s short-term direction. Johanning pointed to several key events scheduled for the week, including the release of US Consumer Confidence data on Tuesday, Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday, Q2 2024 GDP data, and July Pending Home Sales on Thursday, followed by July PCE Inflation data on Friday.
