The cryptocurrency market continues to actively evolve, with Bitcoin and Ethereum at the forefront. The current economic situation influences the dynamics of these assets.
Bitcoin: Current Situation and Predictions
Bitcoin's attempts to break above the $115,000 mark have faced resistance. The Federal Reserve remains cautious about lowering interest rates, which, despite pressure from President Trump, leaves economic conditions for cryptocurrencies challenging. Bitcoin is expected to enter the third phase of its four-year cycle, which, according to CryptoCon, may impact its future trajectory.

Ethereum: Challenges and Opportunities
Ethereum's price hovers around $3,700, despite stronger gains in altcoins compared to Bitcoin. While Ethereum briefly exceeded $3,800, it was also affected by market turbulence. Key obstacles include tariffs, stagnant interest rates, unfavourable U.S. cryptocurrency data, and geopolitical tensions with Russia. Analyst DaanCrypto emphasizes the importance of the ETH/BTC chart for altcoin investors. If Ethereum breaks past its resistance, it could lead to higher significance and asset growth in the market.
Overall Trends in the Cryptocurrency Market
The total transaction volume in cryptocurrency is $133 billion, with market capitalization recovering to $3.75 trillion. While Ethereum tends to gain daily, its weekly performance shows more losses than Bitcoin. Key findings include:
– Bitcoin's target remains above $115,000, yet obstacles abound. – Anticipated new peak at $130,000. – Ethereum's significant threshold stands at $4,100, contingent on overcoming resistance.
The cryptocurrency market continues to demonstrate its dynamic nature. Bitcoin and Ethereum are at critical levels that will define their future. The success of these assets depends on several factors, including economic conditions and market responses.
