BTC and ETH Enter ‘Pause’ Mode: Digesting Spring 2026 Gains The past week saw moderate consolidation, devoid of major shocks or euphoria. BTC traded at $73,856 at the period’s opening, while ETH was priced at $2,265. Both assets moved within narrow ranges: BTC between $72,500 and $74,200, and ETH between $2,200 and $2,320. No significant macro events disrupted the markets—no surprise Fed decisions, no sudden geopolitical shocks—which allowed for a technical ‘breather’ after the year’s early rally. Analysis: A Monitored Lull This apparent calm conceals several dynamics. Firstly, BTC appears to be testing a psychological resistance level around $74,000, a threshold that previously triggered profit-taking in March. Trading volume slightly decreased, signaling that buyers are hesitant to push higher without a clear catalyst. On the ETH front, relative underperformance persists: the ETH/BTC ratio fell to 0.0307, its lowest in several months. Investors are awaiting concrete news on the adoption of layer 2 solutions or spot ETH ETFs, which have been slow to materialize. Macro-wise, U.S. inflation remains stable around 3.1%, and interest rates have not moved. The dollar is slightly weaker, which supports risk assets, but without enthusiasm. Inflows into funds
