On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Bitcoin is trading at $78,655, up a modest 0.6% on the day. Its weekly performance has improved to +1.3%. Ethereum climbed to $2,316, continuing its rebound. Crypto markets appear to be entering a consolidation phase following last week’s fluctuations. This stabilization comes amid low trading volumes typical of weekends. Investors are adopting a wait-and-see attitude, awaiting clear catalysts. On the fundamentals side, activity on the Ethereum blockchain remains strong, with an increase in transactions related to decentralized applications. This explains ETH’s slight outperformance relative to BTC in recent days. For traders, this lull is seen as positive, allowing for the rebuilding of a solid base before a potential new impulse. However, the market remains vulnerable to external shocks, particularly announcements from the U.S. Federal Reserve. If Bitcoin can hold above $78,000, confidence could gradually return. Conversely, a drop below $77,000 would revive uncertainty. In the absence of major news, the market is expected to remain calm until traditional markets open on Monday.
