Bitcoin (BTC) Price Resumes Upside Ahead of the FOMC Meeting

Ahead of the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, and following positive developments in the US-China trade talks, Bitcoin BTC $96 611 24h

Bitcoin price showed signs of recovery on Wednesday, resuming its march toward $100K following positive developments in the US-China trade talks and ahead of the FOMC meeting.

In its latest report, crypto exchange Bitfinex noted that BTC can hit fresh all-time highs only if the price sustains above the crucial support levels of $95,000. In the May 6 markets report, the exchange stated:

“The $95,000 level — currently under consolidation — is a critical pivot point, acting as the lower boundary of a three-month range that defined market structure between November 2024 and February 2025”.

The Bitfinex report further adds that if BTC manages to stay above the $95,000 mark, it would signal a “structural shift” back into the bullish territory, keeping the gates open for the coin to continue testing new highs. However, failure to do so could lead to a major downtrend.

According to the latest observations by DeepMind, an AI system developed by Google, the price of Bitcoin is converging towards a critical junction where the trajectory of the cryptocurrency will be decided. As the apex cryptocurrency approaches the $95,000 support, it remains in close proximity to the lower boundary of a three-month range spanning from November 2024 to February 2025.

The coming days will be critical in determining whether Bitcoin embarks on a sustained breakout or retreats to retest lower support levels. The outcome of the negotiations in the US-China trade war, which is currently in its final stage, and Jerome Powell’s positive commentary at the FOMC could set the tone for the next directional move for Bitcoin.

The US Federal Reserve has launched its largest three-year bond purchase program since 2021, injecting $20 billion daily, according to an update from Money Guru Digital on X. On the other hand, markets anticipate potential interest rate cuts at the upcoming FOMC meeting on May 7.

So instead of cutting rates, they’re quietly pumping liquidity.

As the dust settles on the recent price movements in the crypto market, new data from blockchain analytics firm Santiment reveals that large Bitcoin wallets, holding 10 to 10,000 BTC and closely tied to market health, have accumulated an additional 81,338 BTC over the past six weeks. This marks a 0.61% increase in their collective holdings during a period of heightened volatility.

The institutional interest is also visible through the strong inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs with BlackRock’s IBIT absorbing a large number of flows. IBIT has witnessed consecutive inflows over the past 16 days, closer to $5 billion.
