Apr.9-Apr.15(ETH)Weekly market recap for COINBASE:ETHUSD by Sypool

Let’s first have a look on the current U.S. macroeconomy. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Labor released CPI data for March. While the predicted value was higher than the previous value, the actual value was higher than the predicted value. This also means that the CPI will be worse than expected in the first four months of 2024. BTC and US stocks fell. With Federal Reserve officials and Biden promising to cut interest rates in 2024, market sentiment calmed down and BTC turned higher. However, the interest rate cut promised by officials was quite different from the June rate cut expected by the market at the time, and there would still be adjustments in the future.

As we mentioned in the previous recap, BTC remains fluctuating at a high level and other tokens are gradually weakening. If BTC cannot refresh ATH, the market may face a significant correction. Over the weekend, Iran’s raid on Israel became the trigger for bulls to collapse.

We believe that BTC has safe-haven characteristics, but when too many chips are piled up at a high level, the safe-haven properties will be diluted. Risks begin to be released.

And that might not be a bad thing. BTC is about to undergo its fourth halving this week, and from a long-term monetary policy perspective, the bullish trend has not been ruined. Yesterday many Hong Kong asset management companies received approval to issue BTC spot ETFs, which will once again consolidate liquidity.

ETH broke below the given resistance level last week and then rebounded to near the support level. Unlike BTC, ETH is more vulnerable without the liquidity support of spot ETFs. After the Dencun upgrade, ETH has almost no special benefits. A large amount of locked and staked ETH will increase volatility.

During the weekend’s decline, ETH’s trading volume increased significantly, and you can clearly see that it is above historical averages. Although on the WTA indicator, the blue columns representing whales has also appeared, the bears have been confirmed over the weekend. The ME indicator maintains a bullish trend but is narrowing significantly.

In summary, we believe that ETH may maintain its decline this week. We lower resistance to 3700 and support to 2800.
