Crypto market slows down ahead of weekend: what to expect from Bitcoin and Ethereum next?

The cryptocurrency market meets Friday in a lazy mood, which is reflected in the quotes of the main cryptocurrencies. Over the past day, the market capitalization of all digital assets has decreased by almost 1%, which is a significant decrease in the current conditions.

Inflation triggers bullish momentum

Despite this, the fundamental news background remains positive and neatly spoils the market, where we should expect the next bullish impulse reaction. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell noted that the main signal to reduce inflation will be the PCE Price Index statistics.

According to the released data, the economic indicator rose +6% in October. In September, the metric reached 6.3%. The presence of a downward trend in the PCE metric indicates a continuation of the downward trend in the inflation rate.

This means that the next inflation report could trigger a boom in high-risk asset markets. Given this, we should expect increased volatility and attention of crypto investors to the next inflation report.

Negative factors

With all the positive developments in the fight against inflation, the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remains at the local bottom. This provokes huge losses of related industries, which, in turn, negatively affect the upward potential of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin's hash rate has reached 300 EH/s again, while the price remains near $17k. This provokes one of the largest sell-offs among miners in history. Over the past day, the reserves of mining companies have fallen by 10,000 BTC.

In addition, miners sell BTC mining equipment to cover running costs. There have also been reports that mining firms are using hardware as collateral for the loans they need to stay viable.

BTC/USD Analysis

Given the miners' concerns above, Bitcoin's upward movement has stalled near the $17k–$17.1k resistance level . Despite the slowdown in growth rates, the bears failed to seize the initiative and absorb the volumes of the bulls in the last days of November.

As a result, Bitcoin failed to completely leave the "triangle," which means that the probability of a period of local accumulation before the beginning of next week is greatly increased. Technical metrics also point to a pause: the RSI is moving flat, while the stochastic is forming a bearish crossover.

Given the divergence of technical metrics and the possibility of a decline, BTC needs to hold the $16.7k level. Otherwise, the price will go to retest $16k and below. However, in general, the activation of buyers, the growing correlation with stocks and a positive fundamental background can provoke a new monthly high.

ETH/USD Analysis

On the daily chart of ETH/USD, a situation similar to Bitcoin has formed. The price is near the border of the fluctuation range and has every chance to make a bullish breakout and storm $1,400 and $1,450.

However, the close relationship with BTC does not allow the altcoin to move on its own, and therefore the main signal for the growth of the ETH price will be the bullish momentum of Bitcoin. Ethereum technical indicators are also echoing BTC and are in a consolidation pause.

At the same time, Ethereum on-chain activity is growing, which may indicate an attempt to finally go beyond the $1,050–$1,350 range. It is also worth noting the low activity of sellers in the ETH network, which may indicate a high probability of a successful attempt by the bulls to break through $1,300 over the weekend.

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。

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。
