Bitcoin’s short-term triangle

Market Picture

Crypto market capitalisation is up 0.85% in the last 24 hours to 1.21 trillion, in the middle of its range over the previous two weeks. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index rose 5 points to 64, establishing itself in greed territory and showing that sentiment is recovering faster than capitalisation.

Bitcoin attempted to approach $30,000 again on Thursday but hit lower highs than on Wednesday, although it didn’t pull back as hard. Notably, the Nasdaq high tech index was up an impressive 2.75%.

Bitcoin continues to form triangles in the short term and has a reasonably clear support line. At the same time, an impressive supply of sellers is preventing the price from fixing above the psychologically important $30K price.

Kaiko points to the increasing correlation between BTC and gold. The cryptocurrency’s dependence on the precious metal has grown since early March. The banking crisis and the risks of financial turmoil are scaring investors around the world and causing them to buy up safe-haven assets.

According to CryptoQuant, bitcoin’s leverage ratio has reached an all-time low of 0.195. This reduces the volatility of the spot VC market, which is becoming less sensitive to futures market activity.

News background

Ethereum options volume and open interest on the CME hit all-time highs following the successful Shapella hardfork.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said it is preparing rules for licensing crypto exchanges and will introduce them next month. Turning Hong Kong into a crypto hub could provide liquidity for cryptocurrency growth and become a new rally driver, according to Blockfin Academy.

Investment in bitcoin startups has outpaced the rest of the crypto industry in terms of investment in 2022, according to a report by Trammell Venture Partners (TVP). However, the first cryptocurrency has yet to be widely accepted.

The Google Cloud platform has partnered with the Polygon project to accelerate the adoption of “key Polygon protocols” in enterprise infrastructure and tools and “increase bandwidth” in gaming, supply chain and DeFi.

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.
