#Gate广场五月交易分享 Officially entering May! Bitcoin is about to experience a major market shift, will it be a big bull run or a crash?
1. Federal Reserve & Inflation
1. Last night’s Federal Reserve decision: keep interest rates unchanged, but the hawkish tone exceeded expectations
2. Benchmark interest rate at 3.5%–3.75% remains unchanged, but there were 4 dissenting votes (the highest since 1992), indicating a clear hawkish shift internally.
3. Powell’s statement: inflation is “high,” no longer “slightly high,” and the market’s expectation of rate cuts this year has been significantly weakened, starting to price in “higher interest rates for a longer period.”
4. For the crypto market: somewhat bearish. Expectations of high interest rates → stronger dollar, funds reluctant to enter high-volatility assets, short-term pressure on BTC/ETH.
2. May Day Market Analysis
Short-term focus for May Day
BTC’s four-hour chart shows that after touching support around 75,000 and experiencing a false break, it rebounded. The last time was when it touched the 76,000–75,000 range and rebounded to the 77,000–78,000 range. This time, after a false break of 75,000, it again reached the 77,000–78,000 range. This area remains a resistance zone, a defensive zone for bearish outlooks, so the current strategy is to wait for the market to settle. The market won’t immediately drop to the target after I turn bearish; it needs time to develop.
Intra-day support levels to watch are the 75,000–76,000 range. A break below 75,000 could lead directly to the 72,600–73,800 support zone. Overall, focus on the 70,000–72,000 range for entry on the daily chart.
ETH shows a similar pattern. Last time, it bounced from support at 2,260 to the 2,330–2,350 range, then retraced. Yesterday, it reached support at 2,220 and rebounded, which aligns with expectations for resistance at 2,260–2,300. Now, it depends on the strength of this resistance. This is likely the third resistance zone where a sell-off could occur, representing a pullback zone.
Support levels below are first at 2,180–2,220, with the last two levels at 2,130–2,160 as short-term support. The final entry point for bottom-fishing is between 2,050–2,130, waiting for the market’s next big breakout.

2. May Day Market Analysis
Short-term focus for May Day
BTC price on the four-hour chart briefly touched support around 75,000, then rebounded. Last time, it touched the 76,000–75,000 range and rebounded to 77,000–78,000. This time, after briefly breaking 75,000, it again reached the 77,000–78,000 range. This area remains a resistance zone, a defensive bearish zone, so the current strategy is to wait for the market to stabilize. The market won’t immediately crash after I turn bearish and then suddenly drop to the target, then rally again—such a scenario is unrealistic. Markets need time to develop. For intraday support levels, continue to watch the 75,000–76,000 range. If it breaks below 75,000, look toward the smaller support zone at 72,600–73,800. Overall, focus on the 70,000–72,000 range for entry points on the daily chart.
ETH shows a similar pattern. Last time, it bounced from support at 2,260 to the 2,330–2,350 range, then retraced. Yesterday, it reached support at 2,220, with a rebound strength consistent with the expected resistance at 2,260–2,300. Now, it depends on the strength of this resistance. Normally, this is the third major resistance zone where a sell-off might occur, so it’s a resistance level that needs to be tested for a pullback. The first support below is at 2,180–2,220, and the last two support levels are at 2,130–2,160 for short-term support. The final entry point for bottom-fishing is in the 2,050–2,130 range, waiting for a market explosion later.
