Bitcoin is nearly flat this Friday, at $89,443, a negligible change from the previous day. Ethereum edges slightly lower to $2,948. Over the week, the loss eases to 6.4%, a sign that selling pressure is fading. Traditional markets are also calm, with stock indices slightly higher. This transitional day reflects the wait-and-see attitude of investors, who are looking for clearer signals.
This stabilization comes after a turbulent week. Bitcoin appears to have found a temporary equilibrium around $89,000, but without a strong catalyst, movements remain limited. Ethereum, below $3,000, shows that altcoins are unable to take the lead. The macroeconomic context remains the dominant factor: investors are watching US economic indicators, particularly inflation and employment, which could influence Fed decisions.
For observers, this day is a pause. The weekly loss of 6.4% is less alarming than previous days, but it serves as a reminder that the market is not out of the woods yet. If Bitcoin manages to close the week above $89,000, it could reassure investors. But without positive news, the risk of another drop remains. The weekend should be calm, but volatility could return as early as Monday.
