It mostly means the same, Bitcoin is similar to the precious metals market, but not exactly the same. Sometimes when the economy is bad, and they seek refuge in metals, they also seek refuge in Bitcoin. On the other hand, give current Bitcoin low price, it might even be quite smart move.

True the economic indicators have nothing on cryptocurrencies at all but just Artemis when the global  markets and economies turn sour and there is a lot of panic, investors tend to go towards to gold and silver and maybe should there another global crisis,  people may turn to Bitcoins when they start to invest in precious minerals.

We have seen how bitcoin is very different from forex market and stock market. Its volatility is nothing to be compared to and it does not get affected so easily by economic indicators. I have noticed that economic indicators as well as bitcoin news have now low impact on bitcoins value compared to before. The only thing that can really impact bitcoin is when a big whale deposits or withdraws a large amount of bitcoin from the exchange. If a big chunk of bitcoins will enter the exchange the expectancy for the value to go down is very high. Right now monitoring the whale wallets is much more of a concerned rather than economic indicators.

They just mean one thing: The environment is always ready for Bitcoin to make a good run soon. When people are feeling jittery about any development, they can be seeking safe haven for their wealth and they will be looking at gold and Bitcoin. Old gold fans may not be agreeing with Bitcoin that much but younger population may consider Bitcoin as a very viable digital asset that has similarities to gold but differs in some aspects. The trade wars and quantitative easing are not good for the economy, generally speaking though politicians can say otherwise. Gold is expected to rise in price especially in 2020, just in time for the possible bull run of Bitcoin. Can we say then that Bitcoin is the new digital gold? You bet.

Can we say that Bitcoin has become a real alternative to current financial investments, in the sense that investments may flow to it in the event of political or economic uncertainty? If yes, all the above effects will have meaning and then the effect of each effect can be measured separately.
Unfortunately, bitcoin cannot be considered an alternative because of the difficulty of predicting price trends and rapid fluctuations that make reliance on them "in uncertainty" closer to gambling.
Many tend to play on the safe side, so the money will not be much in agreement, especially those that are linked to loans or daily basics.
Institutional funds are often governed by statutory laws and regulations. The absence of such legislation limits the ability of these institutions to invest.

Economic indicators certainly put their footprint on the Bitcoin price, but we can't really measure the impact. I see it like this: in order for more money to pour into the cryptocurrency marketcap & implicitly Bitcoin people should be financially healthy. Be sure that the average american who does not know much about cryptocurrencies besides that they are risky won't put any money in them if they can barely make the next month bill. On the other side, if the population would clearly see that their fiat money is losing power dramatically on a regular basis they would certainly be looking for a deflationary currency like Bitcoin is. But most people are not even aware of the inflation or don't care about it until they'll see the consequences themselves.

In short, all those things point towards the financial crisis in the big markets. The moment the world feels that printed money is losing its value (Dollar in particular), they will have only one option and that is to convert their money into bitcoins. This already happened in Venezuela and Iran, where their local currency fell too much and they converted to digital currency.

the bitcoin market is still largely driven by retail investors. it will respond to macro trends like a pronounced recession (because investors have increasingly limited disposable capital or are losing their jobs). so it'll follow the stock market down when the crash actually hits.

it probably won't respond to leading economic indicators like these before the fact.

Economic indicators have nothing to do with bitcoin prices, so whatever happens the economy will have no big effect which is 
against the price of bitcoin. What affects the price of bitcoin is whales, because whales have a large capital. So once a transaction
will affect the price of bitcoin, for example whales make a deposit then the price of bitcoin will automatically rise and if the whales
withdraw, the bitcoin price will automatically go down. My conclusion economic indicators do not affect bitcoin directly.
