Bitcoin slipped under pressure today, falling more than 2 percent to $109,500 after failing to hold above $112,000. The pullback came even as weaker U.S. labor data raised expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut later this month. Key support sits near $110K, with the risk of a retest of $100K if momentum fails to return. Resistance is clustered between $113,600 and $115,600, with heavier selling expected closer to $118K. Until price can reclaim higher ground, every bounce risks being seen as a bull trap.
Gold took center stage today, surging to fresh record highs while equities and crypto lagged. Investors continue to favor gold as the global safe haven amid rising inflationary pressures, deficit spending, and an oversupplied Treasury market. The Fed’s upcoming meeting is in sharp focus, with markets almost fully pricing in a cut. However, if inflation remains persistent, it may prove to be the only move this year.
Ethereum showed more resilience. Despite $300 million in ETF outflows over the past two sessions, representing just over one percent of assets under management, ETH rallied 4.7 percent midweek to reclaim $4,300 and snap a week-long downtrend. Derivatives positioning and options flows suggest traders are still leaning on support at $4,300 while eyeing $5,000 as the next significant upside target.
Regulatory pressure also shaped today’s narrative. Nasdaq-listed companies using Bitcoin purchases to boost stock prices are facing tighter scrutiny, with stricter oversight on capital raises tied to crypto holdings. This pushback could temper enthusiasm among firms looking to follow aggressive treasury strategies and signals a shift toward more cautious integration of digital assets in public markets.
