๐Ÿšจ BTC: Up, Down, Who Knows? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Oh joy, another day, another chance for Bitcoin (BTC) to give me whiplash ๐Ÿคฏ. At the Wall Street open on April 1 (no joke), it was dรฉjร  vu all over again with volatility making a comeback, thanks to those delightful US trade tariff talks ๐Ÿ™„.

Bitcoin: Because Erratic is My Love Language

According to the folks at CryptoMoon Markets Pro and TradingView, BTC/USD was bouncing around like a rubber ball within its weekly trading range of about $83,000. Yeah, real stable ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

Meanwhile, in other thrilling news, US stocks were like, “Oh no, we’re down!” ๐Ÿ“‰, and gold was all, “Hey, I just hit an all-time high of $3,149 per ounce, no big deal” ๐Ÿค‘.

And because we all needed more to worry about, recession talk is back on the menu ๐Ÿด, just in time for US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” on April 2, where he’ll unveil new tariffs because, why not? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The Kobeissi Letter summed it up nicely (or depressingly, depending on your outlook): “Equity markets are clearly pricing-in a recession… The S&P 500 is down -2% since Fed rate cuts began in September 2024.” ๐Ÿ“Š

But wait, there’s more! The Federal Reserve might cut interest rates again in June, which would be super bullish for crypto… or not, because, as Kobeissi noted, history isn’t exactly on our side ๐Ÿ“š.

โ€œThe AVERAGE post-pivot return is +1% in 6 months.โ€ Yeah, try getting excited about that ๐ŸŽ‰.

QCP Capital chimed in with their two cents, essentially saying the timing for tariffs couldn’t be worse ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ, but hey, maybe it’ll all work out in the end ๐Ÿคž.

โ€œThere is a real risk that a broad and aggressive regime could deepen recession fears and send risk assets spiraling.โ€ Just what I wanted to hear ๐Ÿ˜Š.

So, what’s next for BTC? Well, market observers are waiting with bated breath for some actual momentum ๐Ÿค”. Fundamental support at $80,000 is still a thing, though ๐Ÿ™.

More Crypto Online analyzed an Elliott Wave schematic and basically said, “Yeah, it’s moving up, but don’t get too excited yet ๐Ÿ˜.” The rally’s got more to prove, apparently ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Trader Jelle pointed out that BTC/USD is respecting the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) at $76,600 as support ๐Ÿ“ˆ. Fingers crossed for a rebound to $84,500, I guess ๐Ÿคž.

On a slightly more positive note, QCP Capital mentioned that investors are eyeing higher levels for next quarter ๐Ÿ“…. Silver linings, right? ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ

โ€œBuyers were seen taking topside exposure ($85k-$90k strikes) and selling downside risk ($75k strikes)…โ€ Yeah, because that always works out ๐Ÿค‘.
