The week of June 1, 2026 ends on a note of stability tinged with uncertainty. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $73,593, down slightly 0.8% over seven days, while Ethereum (ETH) stagnates at $2,004, virtually unchanged. Trading volumes are low, signaling that investors are watching before acting.
Analysis: The Shadow of Macroeconomics
Two main forces explain this torpor. First, traditional markets are digesting the latest Federal Reserve minutes, released Wednesday. The tone is considered “hawkish”: the Fed maintains rates at 5.5% and notes inflation that remains “persistent” in services. For crypto, this means a high cost of capital that curbs speculative flows.
Second, regulation surfaces again. The US Senate has introduced a bill aimed at strengthening reporting obligations for unregistered exchanges. While not a surprise, the legislation reminds the market that the legal framework remains unclear, pushing institutions toward caution.
Technically, Bitcoin has oscillated between $72,500 and $74,500 for ten days. The $75,000 level remains an insurmountable psychological wall for now. Ethereum seems stuck at $2,000 — a level that has served as both support and resistance multiple times in May.
Outlook: A Pivotal Week Ahead?
In the short term, everything depends on US inflation data (CPI) due next Wednesday. If the figure disappoints to the upside, a further decline in BTC toward $70,000 is plausible. Conversely, a slowdown in inflation could trigger a rebound toward $77,000.
For ETH, attention is focused on the SEC’s decision regarding spot ETFs. An approval could propel ETH toward $2,500 — but a rejection or delay could push it back toward $1,800. In short, the market is holding its breath. The next few days promise to be telling.
