On Monday, May 4, 2026, Bitcoin was stable at $78,563, with no significant change on the day. The weekly performance was nearly flat at -0.1%. Ethereum held at $2,324. This stagnation reflected investor hesitation, as they struggled to find a clear direction following the weekend’s rebounds. The pause came in a still-tense macroeconomic environment. Traditional markets were mixed, with persistent fears about inflation and interest rates. Cryptocurrencies, often correlated with risk assets, suffered from this uncertainty. Trading volumes remained low, indicating that major institutional players were adopting a cautious stance. On-chain data showed moderate accumulation but no strong buy or sell signal. For analysts, this consolidation phase could last several more days. Bitcoin was trading in a narrow range between $77,000 and $80,000, and a breakout from this zone will be needed to determine the trend. Investors were watching upcoming economic releases, particularly U.S. employment figures, which could influence monetary policy. In the meantime, caution prevailed, with traders preferring to wait for clearer signals before taking significant positions.
