Overnight, all three major U.S. stock indices closed lower together, sending a signal that the high-level rally is set to pull back. The crypto market followed suit with synchronized volatility and a decline: the price action of Bitcoin and Ethereum has weakened, fully breaking the prior independent pattern of strong coins and weak stocks. Earlier, funds flowed back from gold into Bitcoin, temporarily supporting the crypto “safe-haven” logic. However, yesterday the U.S. dollar strengthened, suppressing London gold from continuing its decline. Geopolitical risk premia failed to generate buying support; instead, Bitcoin was pushed into a technical correction. On Thursday, broad commodities saw intense volatility: breakthroughs in the U.S.-Iran negotiations drove WTI and Brent crude oil to plunge by more than 7% and nearly 8%, respectively. The rapid fade of the geopolitical safe-haven premium directly dismantled the main upside narrative for crypto assets—rising on energy inflation and hedging against fiat currency depreciation. Macroeconomic uncertainty was also prominent. On May 15, the Federal Reserve will face a leadership transition; the divergence in the latest interest-rate decision has hit the highest level in years. Market expectations for rate cuts have been pushed out to 2027, with a bleak probability of rate cuts throughout the year. Against the backdrop of liquidity being repriced, whether Bitcoin—supported by ETF inflows—can continue to carve out an independent trend remains in doubt. The pressure from profit-taking and withdrawals is not to be underestimated. Yibo will continue tracking the Federal Reserve’s policy implementation, institutional fund flows, and changes in on-chain data, providing real-time updates to its strategy layout and target dynamics.

The 80,000 Bitcoin level has lost its support. Yesterday, the bulls seemed to get a bucket of cold water: the price briefly fell below the 80000 USD integer mark, directly threatening the previously confirmed pullback structure. The bullish consolidation pattern that had been making higher lows in recent days has already been damaged under last night’s systemic sell pressure. At the daily level, the moving-average system as a whole is flattening. The RSI indicator has rapidly retreated from the strong zone to a near-neutral, slightly weak position, showing that buy-side willingness has clearly dropped compared with earlier. The MACD fast and slow lines show signs of a death cross at elevated levels. If, over the next 24–48 hours, the price cannot quickly reclaim and hold above 80,600 USD, near-term control will shift to the bears. The key support zone below is in the 77,500–78,200 USD area. If that zone is lost again, the prior strong channel may be effectively broken through, and the correction cycle could be extended further.

Ethereum has been unable to break through the 2,400 integer level for a long time. It has consistently looked weak—tugging back and forth at low levels, with little ability to catch up and rebound. Now it appears this is not simply an accumulation of energy, but a real reflection of the bulls’ fatigue. Once overall market sentiment weakens, Ethereum’s downside elasticity is much larger. The price has already dropped below the brief equilibrium area around 2,350 USD, and the support from the daily chart’s MA20 and MA30 moving-average system is under test. On the 4-hour chart, the ending of the prior converging triangle that has clearly chosen a downward direction is highly evident. The middle band of the Bollinger Bands has been completely broken through, and the price is moving toward the lower band and the near-term support band of 2,280–2,300 USD. If this level is lost, the next step downward will be the 2,200 USD integer level. If the overall Bitcoin market can hold the key 77,500–78,000 USD zone to stabilize and stop the fall, Ethereum still has a chance to pause and consolidate; otherwise, the pace of the synchronized downward move will be extremely sharp.
