Bitcoin could continue to slide, because Koeler-Dan expected American inflation data has led to the fear that President Trump might go faster for rates, a movement that could bring inflation in the long term.
On Friday, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $ 80,000 and still fell around 1.6% during the last 24 hours at the time of the press. This was even when the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed for March that inflation fell to 2.4%, compared to 2.8% in February and slightly better than the 2.5% predicted by analysts.
The CPI, released monthly by the American Bureau or Labor Statistics, is an important inflation meter and influences the monetary policy decisions of the Federal Reserve. Normally a lower inflation reduces the need for interest increases, which tends to benefit risk assets such as crypto and shares.
Despite the positive CPI lecture, however, the markets did not collect. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both opened highly lower and closed the day 3.4% and 4.3% respectively.
The total crypto market capitalization has also fallen 2.8% in the last 24 hours, suggesting that broader concerns overshadow any lighting of cooling inflation.
Trump’s trade policy remains the most important care. On April 9, President Trump announced a 90-day break on planned rate increases and introduced a mutual rate of 10% in most countries, but in particular excluded China, where the rates on Chinese import increased to a steep 125%, accused of the non-commercial standard.
The relocation briefly calmed the markets and sent Bitcoin more than 7% to $ 82,000 when investors welcomed the temporary relaxation of the trade tensions.
However, that optimism faded quickly after China responded with 84% rates on American goods from 10 April. This retribution renewed the fear of a long -term trade war in the US and China, which could weigh heavily on the trust of investors, especially after the end of 90 days.
According to For experts on the Kobeissi letter, the combination of a strong job report and cooling inflation can even give Trump more political space to further escalate the rates, making the progress on inflation possible.
At the same time, the chance that the Federal Reserve Rentet rates will lower in the short term seems slim. CME Group’s Fedwatch Aid points out a chance of 81.5% that the Fed will keep the rates stable during the meeting of 7 May. Without the expected tariff reductions until at least June, the macro background remains uncertain for Bitcoin.
Capital inflow in Bitcoin is also considerably delayed this year. Analytics Platform Glassnode Recent marked That inflow has been paid more than 90% from a peak of $ 100 billion to around $ 6 billion. Usually this is a sign that investor interest can cool because of the current uncertainty.
Technical indicators also indicate a potential disadvantage. If Bitcoin does not hold the level of $ 80,000, Glassnode analysts warn that it can visit lower support zones again, possibly the 356-day exponential advancing average at $ 76k.
The following important levels to view under this price are the active realized price for $ 71,000, and if things deteriorate, the real market means almost $ 65,000. These are important support zones where long -term holders usually withdraw. But if BTC loses this range, this can mean more disadvantage.
Analysts remain hopeful
Yet not everyone regards Bitcoin’s recent pullback as a sign of weakness. Some analysts claim that Bitcoin actually holds remarkably well compared to traditional markets.
Although Bitcoin’s seven-day-realized volatility has doubled to 83%, it still remains considerably lower than the S&P 500s, a development that points to the potential evolution of the asset in a low-beta cover against traditional shares. On a 30-day basis, Bitcoin seems to be less volatile than the S&P 500.
As an addition to this, some data in chains suggests that larger players buy the dip.
According to santiment, 132 new “sharks” portfolios, which have more than 10 BTC, have surfaced in the last 24 hours.
Data from Cryptoquant also shows that around 48,575 BTC, worth around $ 3.6 billion, has moved to accumulation portfolios. It is the greatest whale activity that has been seen since 2022, which could mean that large holders position themselves for a longer term game, even if the uncertainty lingers in the short term.
That said, although many are still on the focus, others start to see signs of a potential recovery in the charts.
According to To the trader to Merlin, Bitcoin has just finished a double bottom pattern, which is a classic sign of a trend domination. Now that it is traded above $ 81K and all of the $ 79,900 level has been bounced, a potential outbreak can be horizon with upward goals around $ 86k ..
If BTC succeeds in posting a weekly close to $ 86k, some analysts believe that it can free the way for bulls to focus on $ 94k. See below:
However, unless a form of resolution is reached between the US and China, this tug of war competition will probably continue to drag rates on markets.
