  "account": "Since last October, the cryptocurrency market has been on a continuous downward trend, referred to as a bear market. However, there is now renewed hope that this phase may be coming to an end. Last week, Bitcoin, the largest and oldest cryptocurrency, saw a 24% increase, reaching a peak of over $80,000 on Tuesday. Yet, caution is advised: following such a rally, a subsequent drop followed, falling below $60,000.\n\nThe question remains whether the recent price surge signals another downward spiral or if the bear market is truly over. Markus van de Weyer, founder and CEO of Alpha Beta Asset Management, discusses on his podcast what market conditions will determine the course of Bitcoin's price.\n\nMeanwhile, the trade dispute between the United States and Canada has escalated in recent days. Last weekend, the US imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods valued at around $20 billion. Canada has retaliated with retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on US imports of the same value. Jürgen Matthes, head of the International Economic Policy Cluster at the German Institute for Economic Research, discusses the potential impact of the trade dispute on German companies operating in North America.",
