Market picture

The total capitalisation of the crypto market rose 4.5% to $1.24 trillion, the highest since June last year and a colourful end to several days of consolidation. Bitcoin was the main driver, although BNB, Cardano, Solana and Litecoin also outperformed the market, rising between 5.5% and 11%.

Bitcoin continued its storm of highs early on Tuesday, peaking at $30.4K and holding above $30K after a minor correction. This jump in a thin market marked the end of a consolidation triangle and a corrective pullback after a March rally. The target for the first pattern is the $40K area, while the second pattern sets up a rapid rise towards $35K, which is more realistic in the current market, as it already looks slightly speculatively overbought.

According to Glassnode, 53% of Bitcoins have not been involved in transactions for two years. Around 9.45 million BTC are held in wallets. Approximately 29% of BTC have been idle for five years, while just under 15% have not moved in over a decade.

Open interest in bitcoin options exceeded open interest in bitcoin futures for the first time, indicating expectations for BTC growth, Glassnode noted.

News background

Forbes estimates that crypto billionaires worldwide will lose around $110bn in 2022, with some losing up to 75% of their wealth. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao is still the richest man in the industry with a fortune of $10.5bn, down from $65bn a year earlier.

Ethereum’s inflow into the stack declined on the eve of Shapella, Glassnode noted. Developers have scheduled an upgrade for 12 April.

The Chivo, a cryptocurrency wallet operated by the Salvadoran government, began freezing user accounts and requiring verification of the source of funds.

The Fed Has Changed the Rules of the Game

The Fed Has Changed the Rules of the Game

The Fed kept rates unchanged, but everything else turned decidedly more hawkish. Higher inflation forecasts, higher expected rates and the end of forward guidance mean markets are now on their own. Every inflation print and every job report will matter more than ever—expect volatility to become the new normal.

Today Fundamental Analysis: US stocks close lower as Fed keeps interest rates unchanged, but hints at a rate hike this year

At the first FOMC meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, the committee kept interest rates unchanged at 3.5%–3.75%. However, the Fed’s updated dot plot turned more hawkish, with policymakers now expecting higher rates in 2026. The median year-end rate forecast rose to 3.8% from 3.4% in March, signaling the possibility of at least one rate hike next year.

US500 – The Fed Just Turned Hawkish, and Stocks Felt It

The Fed just shifted gears. Instead of rate cuts, nine officials now expect a hike this year. New chair Kevin Warsh's message: beating inflation comes first. Markets reacted fast—S&P 500 dropped over 1%, the dollar surged, and yields hit a one-year high. Warsh also dropped forward guidance, so traders now watch data over Fed promises. The next move hinges on jobs and inflation numbers.
