It has been indicated that the pursuit of new COVID-19 stimulus deals will be at the forefront of the Joe Biden administration and the possibility of scaling through is high seeing the Democrats have majority control of the House and Senate.The US economy has been awash with stimulus monies including a $2 trillion deal signed back in March 2020, followed by a $900 billion deal completed in December 2020. The new deal being flaunted by Joe Biden and his team will consist of a $3 trillion package that will see each eligible American cash out $2,000 in cash. Although the new deal will be a compliment to the $600 cheques that were dished out in the December deal.The implication of these stimulus packages is an incessant money printing endeavor which has been highlighted as the source of devaluation for the US Dollar and a boost for Bitcoin, which is now gaining traction amongst corporations as a reserve asset.Bitcoin Resistance at $40,000, New Path to New MoonThe creation of a Bitcoin resistance at $40,000 may be a new inflection point for the coin to soar to the new heights it has always been projected to reach.
