Crypto Week: ETF Inflows, Strong April and Many Positive News

Bitcoin (BTC) is up 3.7% this week to $88,127, approaching the key resistance zone at $89,000–$91,000. A breakout above this level could reignite Bitcoin’s rally, with market players speculating on a potential spike to $110,000 in the near future. Optimism has been fueled by the Federal Reserve’s decision to slow its balance sheet drawdown from $25 billion to $5 billion per month starting April 1. For the bullish scenario to play out, BTC must decisively clear the $91,000 resistance. The upcoming Core PCE Index release this Friday could act as a catalyst.

S&P 500 futures are rising by 0.95% to 5,721 points on Monday, breaking above the resistance at 5,680–5,700. If the index holds above these levels, it could advance to 5,780 points. However, an opening gap signals a possible pullback towards 5,670, as such gaps are typically closed quickly in the first U.S. trading session. This time, though, an exception might occur, as large investors continue to exit the market. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) reported net outflows of $21.03 billion last week, excluding Friday, up from the previously reported $9.86 billion.

Anton Bykov

S&P 500 futures are rising by 0.33% to 5,648 points, but the upside remains unsteady after the benchmark pulled back from Wednesday’s high of 5,716 points. Despite a market reversal following the Federal Reserve’s meeting, investor sentiment remains cautious, with some resuming sell-offs. Fed Chair Jerome Powell moved to support markets after U.S. President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blamed the central bank for the recent market correction and economic slowdown.

Crypto Week: Capitulation, Negative Sentiment and Beacons of Hope by the Fed

Anton Bykov

Bitcoin (BTC) is rising by 0.72% to $83,373, recovering from Tuesday’s low of $81,112. However, the market appears directionless, with many traders convinced that the uptrend has come to an end. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju warns that Bitcoin’s bull cycle might be over, predicting a bearish or sideways trend for the next 6 to 12 months based on technical indicators. Concerns about a potential recession are also weighing on sentiment, with ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood expressing worries that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies could trigger an economic downturn.

Weekly Focus: S&P 500 Rebound, Bessent Disclaimer and Fed Meeting

Anton Bykov

S&P 500 futures are slipping by 0.24% to 5,611 points on Monday after a strong rebound last Friday, when the index climbed 1.68% to 5,622 points. While the recovery could resume, investors are currently digesting remarks from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding market corrections. “I can tell you that corrections are healthy. They’re normal,” he stated late Sunday, while also acknowledging the possibility of a U.S. recession.

Weekly Summary: Trade Wars Continue to Put Pressure on Stocks

Alexander Boltyan

The S&P 500 broad market index futures are down 3.7% to 5,550 points, hitting a new low of 5,505—the weakest level since early September 2024. The index is now approaching its downside target of 5,350–5,450 points, which appears increasingly likely to be reached. The market is under pressure from intensifying recession fears, and the decline has been so sharp that the S&P 500 did not even retest the 5,730-point support level before continuing lower. A brief recovery followed the release of better-than-expected U.S.

Crypto Week: Retail Investors Are Close to Capitulation

Anton Bykov

Bitcoin (BTC) is up 0.88% to $82,560 this week, recovering from a sharp decline of 6.2% to $76,559 on Tuesday—the lowest level since November 10, 2024. The market rebounded after U.S. President Donald Trump postponed the doubling of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum for six months while keeping planned increases for other countries. Investors interpreted this as a possible sign that Bitcoin’s correction could be nearing its end. However, some institutional analysts suggest further downside potential.

Weekly Focus: U.S. Stocks Need Inflation to Continue Declining

Anton Bykov

S&P 500 broad market index futures are down by 0.51% to 5,725 points this week, following a steep 4.76% decline last Friday when the benchmark hit 5,664 points, its lowest level since September 19, 2024. The Trump-driven rally has been completely erased. Stocks rebounded later in the day, closing Friday with a modest 0.19% gain but still recording a significant 3.0% weekly decline. Market participants are closely watching the key support level at 5,720–5,740 points. If this level is breached, the index could plunge towards extreme downside targets of 5,300–5,400 points.

Weekly Summary: S&P 500 Sharp Decline Amid the Rise of Euro

Alexander Boltyan

S&P 500 broad market index futures are down 3.37% to 5,750 points, recovering slightly from Thursday’s low of 5,711 points. The market outlook has shifted dramatically from earlier this week when the index was poised to set new record highs. The downturn began after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, set to take effect on March 4. Shortly after, the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow model forecasted a 2.8% contraction in U.S. GDP for Q1 2025, triggering an immediate 2.3% drop in the S&P 500 to 5,807 points.

Crypto Week: Let the Gloomy March Shine

Anton Bykov

Bitcoin (BTC) is down 6.6% this week to $87,837, recovering from a low of $81,425 on Tuesday—the weakest level since February 28. The crypto market was initially lifted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve plan on Sunday, which proposed including Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL). These altcoins surged 10–70% on the news. However, the rally was short-lived as markets tumbled on Tuesday following Trump's imposition of elevated tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.
