Crypto Under Pressure: BTC and ETH Bend but Don’t Break
The week ends on a cautious note for markets crypto. Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $66,036, down 4.2% over seven days, while Ethereum (ETH) retreats to $1,939, a weekly loss of 6.1%. Trading volumes remain moderate, signe d’a attente gĂ©nĂ©rale.
Analysis: The Weight of Macroeconomics
Deux facteurs have pesĂ© this week. D’abord, the minutes of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), publiĂ©es mercredi, have confirmĂ© a hawkish stance : key interest rates restent Ă©levĂ©s (5,50 %), and aucune baisse n’is envisagĂ©e avant September 2026 on more tĂ´t. This context of monetary tightening pĂ©nalise the actifs risquĂ©s, dont the cryptos.
Ensuite, the Consumer Price Index (IPC) amĂ©ricain for May, dĂ©voilĂ© jeudi, a surpris Ă the hausse (+3.6% on a an, against 3.4% attendu). L’inflation sous-jacente (hors alimentation and Ă©nergie) reste collante Ă 3.8%. Resistanceultat : the markets actions have corrigĂ© of 1,5 Ă 2 %, and the cryptos have suivi.
CĂ´tĂ© rĂ©gulation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a annoncĂ© l’ouverture d’a public consultation on the spot Ethereum ETF. Si the nouvelle is positive Ă long terme, elle n’a pas suffi Ă soutenir the cours of l’ETH, freinĂ© par the macro.
Outlook: Wait-and-See Zone
Bitcoin teste actuellement support at $65,000, a level clé. Un rebond technique is possible early in the week prochaine, but the tendance reste fragile. Si the $65,000 cèdent, a retreat toward $62,000 is envisageable.
For Ethereum, the psychological threshold of $1,900 is crucial. A clĂ´ture hebdomadaire sous this level ouvrirait the voie vers $1,800.
Ă€ surveiller : the rĂ©union of the Banque centrale europĂ©enne (BCE) jeudi prochain, and retail sales amĂ©ricaines. En l’absence of catalyseur strong, the marchĂ© pourrait rester in a fourchette Ă©troite.
En résumé : the week was dominée par the macroéconomie and caution. Ni panique ni euphorie : the marché attend a signal clair for choisir sa direction.
