What If There Is No Debt Ceiling Deal

Shorters could come into play on Friday if the deal is not reached, while the crypto market could witness a jump in prices. However, reports said that Biden and Congressional leaders made progress in direction of the deal. Both sides will now have to agree on limiting the spending to $70 billion. Hence, a deal is likely more possible than not in the current circumstances, and the stock prices could likely see some jump from the positive development.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price saw some decline in the last 30 days, after speculation over the regional banking crisis subsided.
