#加密市场观察 Bitcoin drops another 77k, ETH triple top at risk! How will tonight's Federal Reserve decision unfold?

Market Sentiment
Fear and Greed Index: 33 (Fear) • Yesterday: 47 (Neutral) → Today: 33 (Fear)
Sentiment rapidly deteriorating, market enters panic zone
Global Data
Total Market Cap: $2.66 trillion (-2.14%)
BTC Market Share: 58.16%
ETH Market Share: 10.45%

Why did today’s decline accelerate?
1. ETH triple top at risk, this is the biggest risk signal today!
Ethereum has failed four times to break above $2,400 since April 14
Forming a clear triple top pattern
Current price remains below the 100-day moving average
Over $2.15 billion in liquidation risk near $2,150, meaning: if it breaks below $2,150, it could trigger a large chain liquidation, accelerating the decline.
2. BTC technicals weakening
From 4-hour chart:
$80k cluster with about $30 million whale sell orders
7200 BTC options gamma exposure forming strong resistance
$78,490 is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, a key resistance zone
Only a break above $78,962 could open the path to $83,437
21-week EMA critical signal:
Has been resistance since October 2025
First breakout and pullback now forming a bull support zone
Weekly close must hold, or else retest of $73,000.
Coinbase premium turns negative
Coinbase premium index first turns to **-0.04%**
This is the first since April 8, indicating weakening demand from U.S. investors
Market relies more on overseas capital inflows
4. Futures-driven vs spot demand weakness
CryptoQuant warns: "The current rally is mainly driven by futures market demand. Open interest is rising, but on-chain apparent demand remains net negative. The bear market will only end when both spot and futures demand recover."

What are institutions doing?
It seems contradictory: prices falling, yet institutions are buying aggressively
ETF fund flows (CoinShares weekly report): last week inflow of $1.2 billion, 4 consecutive weeks of inflow, BTC inflow of $933 million, ETH inflow of **$192 million** (third week over $190 million), BTC inflow since early year totals $4 billion, total assets under management reach $155 billion (highest since Feb 1)
Strategy: Massive accumulation
April total buy-in: $3.9 billion BTC (highest monthly amount in a year)
Total holdings: 815,300 BTC
Average cost: $75,537
Last week spent another $255 million to buy 3,273 BTC, average price $77,906
BitMine aggressively accumulating ETH
ETH holdings: 77k (4.21% of total supply)
Increase in last week: 101.9k ETH
Staked: 26.6k ETH, worth $8.76 billion
Goal: control 5% of ETH supply

Tonight’s Federal Reserve Decision: Powell’s "Last Dance" Schedule

April 28-29: FOMC Meeting

April 29 2:30 AM: Powell press conference
Market expectations
Interest rate maintained at 3.5%-3.75% (99% probability)
Only one rate cut expected this year
Key points
1. Powell’s final decision
After May 15, the Fed will have a new chair
Trump-nominated Kevin W. W. is about to take office
W. is likely to adopt ultra-loose monetary policy
This may be the last decision before rate cuts
2. Focus areas
Balance sheet reduction pace
Oil price fluctuations’ impact on inflation
Policy changes after W. hearings
3. Impact on BTC
Even if rates stay unchanged, BTC will fluctuate based on traders’ reactions to Fed tone.
