On Wednesday, April 1, Bitcoin traded at $68,232, down 3.3% on the week. Ethereum changed hands at $2,105, posting a daily gain of 2.3% but a weekly decline of 3.3%. Crypto markets appear to be under broad selling pressure, with trading volumes declining on major exchanges. Investors remain cautious, watching the fluctuations without a major catalyst to reverse the trend. This pullback comes amid a tense macroeconomic backdrop. Recession fears in the U.S. persist, fueled by mixed economic indicators. The Federal Reserve maintains a restrictive monetary policy, weighing on risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, the lack of clear regulatory frameworks in the European Union and the U.S. adds to the uncertainty. Institutional investors appear to be adopting a wait-and-see approach, reducing their exposure to digital assets. For traders, this consolidation period could last several more weeks. Bitcoin is testing key support levels around $68,000, and a break below could trigger a deeper correction. However, some analysts see this decline as a buying opportunity for the medium term, especially if Bitcoin’s network fundamentals remain solid. Ethereum, with its transition to a more scalable model, could also attract seasoned investors.
