Bitcoin consolidation movement continues ahead of U.S. macro statistics: will volatility rise?

Bitcoin continues its flat movement after the implementation of a local bullish impulse. Following the results of a short-term surge in trading activity, BTC/USD quotes reached the level of $16.8k. As of January 6, the cryptocurrency continues to consolidate near this mark.

Following the results of January 5, the price did not make significant price movements and remained near the $16.8k level. Thus, buyers failed to realize the bullish momentum as seen on the daily Bitcoin chart.

Ahead of the weekend, the cryptocurrency also has a low chance of moving beyond the $16.4k–$16.9k range. Trading volumes and the number of unique addresses in the BTC network remain near a local low. Over the weekend, trading activity will fall even lower, so significant price movements should not be expect.

Negative factors

That said, there have been several high-profile headlines over the past two days that could worsen the cryptocurrency market in the medium term. Federal Reserve officials commented on the agency's future policy and the fate of the key rate.

Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said it is worth pausing to raise the key rate when the indicator reaches 5.4%. At the same time, Kashkari noted that there are no plans to ease monetary policy and reduce the key rate in 2023.

Galaxy Research analysts announced a difficult 2023 for crypto startups. According to the head of firmwide research, Alex Thorn, the volume of investment by venture capital firms in web3 and blockchain projects will decrease significantly in 2023. Thorn believes that the downward trend will continue until the end of 2023, when the macroeconomic situation begins to improve.

Meanwhile, macro data in the U.S. portends a challenging year for the global economy. Nonfarm Payrolls data was 235,000 against the forecast of 150,000. This indicate a gradual deterioration in the U.S. economy and rising unemployment.

BTC/USD Analysis

In technical terms, Bitcoin quotes are not of particular interest, as the asset is systematically moving in a flat. However, the Fed's statement and statistics on the labor market may change the balance of power in the stock market and, accordingly, the crypto market.

In addition, today, January 6, the second set of U.S. labor market data is released. And regardless of the indicators, the result will have a negative color. If unemployment starts to grow in the main indices, this will mean the gradual entry of the U.S. economy into a recession phase.

If the labor market remains strong, it will untie the hands of the Fed for further key rate hikes. In the near future, it is likely that the labor market indicators will influence the Fed's policy.

For Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, this statistic can be a reason to activate trading activity and significant price movements. Since volumes remain low, there is a possibility of movement in either direction, and the main catalyst for this will be the actions of the market maker.

Results

The situation on the cryptocurrency market is not changing dramatically, and it is unlikely to change in the near future. Therefore, forecasts for long and short ideas on Bitcoin remain valid. If the cryptocurrency gains a foothold above $16.9k, the asset will continue to move to the $17k–$17.4k level.

If the $16.4k level is broken, Bitcoin will resume its downward movement towards the $16k psychological support level. However, in the current environment, even high-profile newsworthy events are not enough to intensify trading activity in the market. This means that in 90% of cases, the impulse price movements will be manipulative and false.

比特幣可能恢復上升趨勢

比特幣昨日出現強勁上漲。在突破 $90,000 關口後,這一主流加密貨幣漲至 $94,000,其漲勢暫時停滯。

4月23日加密貨幣市場的交易建議

比特幣成功突破90,000美元,而以太坊在短短一天內上漲超過10%,回升至1,800美元。 主要的催化劑是昨天唐納德·特朗普的一則聲明,他明確表示解除傑羅姆·鮑威爾作為美聯儲主席的職位並不是他的目標。

比特幣重回88,000美元區域,但以太坊面臨挑戰 昨天美國交易時段中的拋售潮,再次因美國股票指數下跌引發,比特幣買家進行了抵消,而以太坊在低點附近卻顯得乏人問津。顯然,在關於美國經濟衰退即將到來的討論不斷增加,以及美國聯邦準備理事會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾面臨繼續降息的壓力之下,對加密貨幣的需求仍然受到抑制。

4月21日加密貨幣市場交易建議

比特幣和以太坊在經歷整個周末的橫盤整理後,於今天的亞洲交易時段大幅上漲。 此次上漲是由於謠傳美國聯邦儲備委員會主席Jerome Powell可能被免職的消息引發的——這一事件將進一步加劇目前撼動美國經濟的動盪,導致美元出現強烈的拋售,進一步削弱了投資者對綠幣的信心。

比特幣和以太坊依然在其橫向通道中波動,無法突破這些區間可能會危及加密貨幣市場更大範圍的復甦前景。然而,任何新一輪的拋售需要有強有力的理由,而這目前在市場上是不存在的。

對比特幣和以太坊的興趣重燃

儘管 Bitcoin 和 Ethereum 仍在努力恢復力量並重新進入多頭市場——自四月以來一直在橫盤渠道的下限附近出現大幅下滑,令投資者和交易者感到不安——越來越多潛在的零售交易者對加密貨幣市場表示興趣。 根據 Google 搜索數據,2025年3月「Bitcoin」的搜索指數達到34,是今年的最高讀數。

萊特幣加密貨幣的即日價格走勢技術分析,2025年4月17日星期四。

在 Litecoin 加密貨幣 4 小時圖上成功突破向上擴張楔形形態後,隨之出現了 Litecoin 價格走勢與隨機指標之間的背離現象,以及出現了Bearish 123 型態並伴隨 Bearish Ross Hook (RH) 的出現,那麼在不久的將來,Litecoin 可能會再次走弱,以跌破 73.29 的水平。如果其走弱的勢頭和波動性足夠強,則 Litecoin 會再次走弱至 72.35 作為其主要目標和 70.65 作為其次要目標,但如果在其通往先前描述的目標水平的途中,Litecoin 突然出現增強,尤其是突破並收於 78.17 以上,那麼之前描述的所有走弱情景將變得無效並自動取消。
