Current Market Overview

The cryptocurrency market is currently stabilizing around $3 trillion, with Bitcoin trading close to $95,000, prompting analysts to anticipate a possible price breakout.

Key Points

• Bitcoin has been experiencing a range-bound movement, while major players like Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana (SOL) are showing little change in value. Conversely, XRP and Cardano (ADA) have seen a dip of approximately 2%, and Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped by 3%.
• Recently, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $56 million, concluding an eight-day inflow streak nearly totaling $3 billion.

Analysts suggest that this prolonged flat trading, alongside negative funding rates, could be setting the stage for a significant upward move in Bitcoin, emphasizing the impact of macroeconomic variables on trading momentum.

Expert Commentary

Alex Kuptsikevich, the chief market analyst at FxPro, noted:

“Such long consolidations usually accumulate strength for further movement. The next major trigger is likely to be Friday’s labour market data.”

He further added that the market has fluctuated within a narrow band, unable to surpass its 200-day moving average at $3.01 trillion, requiring a global positive event for a breakout towards the $3.5 trillion region.

Echoing these sentiments, Pat Zhang, head of research at WOO X, shared via Telegram:

“BTC continues to experience volatility, forming a consolidation range between $93,000 and $95,000 since April 25, building momentum for a potential breakout.”
