1. Market Overview: Risk appetite contracts, bearish dominance in volatile patterns
As of April 3, the crypto market continues its weak consolidation. Bitcoin is currently around $66,300, down approximately 2.5% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is near $2,040, with a 24-hour decline of about 3.95%, showing weaker performance than Bitcoin. Both major assets are in a technically bearish retracement structure dominated by sellers, and the overall market is at a critical turning point.
The core pressure behind this correction stems from macro factors. The Federal Reserve’s latest decision kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. The dot plot significantly reduced the expectation of rate cuts in 2026 from 2–3 times to just once, while raising inflation expectations, indicating that a high-interest-rate environment will continue to suppress the valuation space for risk assets for most of the year. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainties have further intensified capital flight into the US dollar and other traditional safe-haven assets—during the Asian trading session, Trump delivered a nationwide speech stating that if an agreement cannot be reached, more aggressive strikes on Iran will be implemented within the next two to three weeks, directly triggering a rapid deterioration in risk appetite.
2. Bitcoin (BTC) Technical Analysis
The daily chart shows clear bearish signals. The price is moving within a downward channel, with short-term moving averages forming a bearish alignment. RSI is around 45, indicating weakness; MACD has a death cross with increasing green bars; Bollinger Bands are narrowing, signaling an imminent decision on direction.
Key support and resistance levels:
Resistance above: 68700 (MA120) → 69000–70000 (dense accumulation zone). A strong move above 70000 with increased volume is needed to confirm a bullish reversal.
Support below: 65500 (short-term first line of defense) → 65000 (strong support).
Breaking below 65000 could open the downside to the 62000–60000 range. If the 60000 level is further breached, the price may continue to decline toward around 52500.
From a longer-term perspective, Bitcoin remains in a wide range of $60,000–$70,000, having ended a five-month consecutive decline earlier. It closed March with a gain of about 2%, marking the first positive month after the longest downtrend since 2018. However, a further trend reversal requires additional confirmation.
3. Ethereum (ETH) Technical Analysis
Ethereum’s trend is weaker than Bitcoin’s, currently in a weak consolidation structure after a decline.
Key levels:
Resistance above: 2080–2120, an important recent supply zone. The MACD indicator shows the fast line at 58.28, the slow line at -3.18, and the histogram at 61.46, indicating bullish momentum accumulation. A confirmed short-term uptrend requires a successful break above the 20-day moving average (around 2120). After a breakout, the next target is near the upper band at 2310.
Support below: 2020–2040, a recent dense support zone, with deeper support around 1950. If the psychological level of 2000 is decisively broken, the price could quickly drop to the 1800–1900 range, an area that previously experienced significant activity in 2024.
