The crypto market gathers strength after the rebound

The cryptocurrency market added 8% over 7 days, stabilising at the $2.7 trillion level since Saturday. This is where the market tried to find support in the last days of March before collapsing at the start of April. A move higher could bolster hopes for further gains, but these expectations will only be confirmed after a solid consolidation above the 200-day moving average, which is now near $2.97 trillion.

Bitcoin continues its cautious rise, trading above its 50-day moving average and reaching $85.7K. This is an important technical attempt to reverse the downtrend. Interestingly, the 200-day average is quite close, so a second confirmation of a trend change could come quite quickly. However, from a pessimistic point of view, it is worth noting that bitcoin has entered a resistance accumulation zone where the strength of the initial rebound may fade.

Tariff news and resistance zone put pressure on crypto

The crypto market capitalisation fell by 2.6% in the last 24 hours, dropping to $2.63 trillion. The selling pressure intensified amid announcements that the US may raise duties on Chinese goods to 245%. This news hit fertile ground as the market had already reached the levels of the last consolidation, and after the recent rebound, a correction was looming.

Bitcoin is losing with the market, facing resistance in the form of a cluster of 50- and 200-day moving averages. The importance of these levels suggests some pause in the move, but the chances of a rebound remain high. The low point in early April was more than 30% below historical peaks, making current levels attractive to long-term buyers.

US sales jump gives USD relief, but is driven by fears

US Total retail sales rose 1.4% in March, beating the expected 1.3% after rising 0.2% a month earlier. On an annualised basis, sales rose 4.4%, the fastest pace since December 2023, which contrasted with the slowdown in inflation to 2.4% y/y.

The acceleration in American spending can be attributed to a desire to stock up on goods ahead of a possible price hike triggered by the tariffs announced by Trump last month.

Crypto market rests after recovery

Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency market went from falling to $2.5 trillion to rising to $2.71 trillion but later corrected to the $2.65 trillion area. The recovery momentum lost strength near the previous consolidation zone. The market has so far failed to overcome the descending resistance line formed from the peak on the US Presidential Inauguration Day.

The sentiment index is gradually moving out of the ‘extreme fear’ zone and consolidating in the ‘fear’ area. This is a good signal that the correction may be over, but there are still not enough catalysts for a full-fledged rally.
