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.

This image is no longer relevant

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.

4月18日加密貨幣市場的交易建議

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。

4月14日加密貨幣市場交易建議

在過去的週末,比特幣和以太坊展現了不錯的韌性,維持了進一步回升的機會。儘管從技術角度來看,這些機會似乎相當渺茫,但在橫向通道中交易無疑比啟動新一輪拋售更具吸引力。

比特幣——技術分析概覽

在上個交易週中,市場顯示出多頭有機會重新取得控制權的潛力。此潛力能否實現,現取決於多頭能否離開之前的整固區域(88743),並突破Ichimoku週線交叉(86947 – 87629 和 92885)以及日線雲層(91489)的阻力位。

特朗普邁向加密貨幣市場的又一步

比特幣和以太坊在昨晚急劇下跌,但隨後設法收復失地。就目前而言,空頭力量仍然強於多頭,但這可能只是暫時的,直到Donald Trump最終決定貿易關稅和稅務政策,以及股市動蕩局勢穩定下來。

4月11日加密貨幣市場交易建議

比特幣和以太坊在週四美國市場尾盤時價值下跌,但在今日亞洲交易時段恢復。 在特朗普將對中國的關稅提升至145%的消息傳出後,加劇了市場的混亂和投資者的焦慮,加密市場和美國股市一同下跌已成為常態。
