Crypto Market Pulse 👀

Bitcoin continues to hold steady despite broader market turbulence and ongoing tariff drama. A big reason for this resilience seems to be the growing strength of its investor base. ETFs have quietly posted positive inflows both over the past month and year-to-date, with BlackRock’s $IBIT alone adding $2.4 billion so far, placing it among the top 1% of all ETFs in 2025.

Behind the scenes, long-term holders like Michael Saylor and ETF buyers have been steadily absorbing supply from weaker hands — including panic sellers, FTX liquidations, GBTC exits, and even government auctions. This shift toward stronger hands is already reducing volatility and setting the stage for a more stable market structure going forward.

At the moment, Bitcoin is still closely tied to traditional markets, but history suggests this won’t last. Similar setups played out during the early 2020 Covid crash, where Bitcoin first moved in sync with stocks before eventually decoupling and leading the next cycle higher. Once that decoupling happens, we expect altcoins to follow with an explosive move of their own🤔

Crypto sentiment is holding steady in bearish territory. ❄️

SYGNAL’s latest AI reading clocks in at -0.35 — slightly worse than last week, but a touch better than yesterday. The overall 7-day trend? Still falling. 📉

With uncertainty in the air, it's a time to stay sharp.

Follow sentiment on $BTC and $ETH to get ahead of the next move.

Markets may have moved past peak U.S. tariff policy uncertainty, but volatility remains, according to a Nansen report. Aurelie Barthere, Principal Research Analyst at Nansen, suggests recent U.S. tariff negotiations are a factor.

Bitcoin demonstrates resilience during market downturns, according to Wintermute, even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit year lows. Bitcoin's stability is attributed to growing institutional interest. The CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year, while the PPI increased 2.7% in March.

Bitcoin is being considered as a safe-haven asset amid trade tensions, showing resilience compared to traditional assets during events like the 2018-19 US-China trade war and the April 2025 market crash. Factors contributing to Bitcoin's strength include institutional adoption and its appeal as a non-sovereign, portable hedge.

Declining Exchange Reserves and Increasing Long-Term HoldingsAccording to CryptoQuant analyst BorisVest, several important on-chain metrics support the current stability of the market. One of the most significant data is that the amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges is continuously decreasing - this level was last low in 2018. There are currently about 2.43 million BTC on exchanges, compared to 3.4 million at the peak of the 2021 bull market.

This trend suggests that more investors are choosing long-term holdings, which narrows the supply available on the market, which could lead to an increase in the price.

“This is an example of what not to do”Interestingly, Schiff launched his own “strategic reserve” on March 8th, where he is seeking donations from the crypto community. The reserve currently holds just 0.055 BTC (worth about $4,600), and Schiff says this is intentional: “I haven’t sold anything. I’m letting the reserve collapse to set an example of what not to do.”

He has previously said that he believes the price of Bitcoin could fall to $10,000.

Peter Schiff, the well-known financial commentator known to many as “Dr. Doom,” has made another alarming statement. Schiff, who made his name by accurately predicting the 2008 financial crash, is now urging investors to sell all their Bitcoin and invest in gold mining stocks instead.

Gold hits new high, Bitcoin weakensSchiff says Bitcoin is “the epitome of risk assets” and is currently on a downward trend, while gold is hitting new all-time highs. The price of gold hit a new record high of $3,291 on Tuesday. In contrast, Bitcoin is currently trading at $83,445 on the Bitstamp exchange, and there are fears that the market in the United States could weaken further.

The US stock market is not doing well either: S&P 500 futures fell 1.5% amid tariff war concerns.

Crypto Market Pulse 👀

Bitcoin continues to mirror traditional markets, with correlations to the S&P 500, Dow, and Russell 2000 all surging above 0.75 since Trump’s trade war headlines first rattled markets in March. The macro environment is still setting the tone for price action, and today’s headlines only reinforced that link🤦‍♂️

Nvidia added fuel to the fire, announcing the U.S. government has indefinitely blocked sales of its H20 chips to China — a move expected to wipe $5.5 billion off its Q1 earnings. The stock dropped over 5% on the news, underscoring how fragile sentiment remains around tech sector😱

Meanwhile, the White House says Trump is “open to a deal” with China, offering a potential off-ramp to ease tensions — though markets are still waiting for something concrete⌛

On the crypto front, the mood is more constructive. Semler Scientific is doubling down on Bitcoin exposure, filing to raise $500 million for more BTC purchases. ETF flows have also turned positive again, with BlackRock leading the way — a strong sign that institutional appetite is still alive beneath the surface💪

Finally, futures data shows bulls are quietly but firmly regaining control. Since April 11, Binance Futures have been dominated by aggressive buyers, with sellers struggling to push back🤔

Despite the short-term volatility, Bitcoin’s underlying demand remains strong. For altcoins to truly gain momentum, we believe Ethereum needs to break out first — so we’re holding off on increasing our ETH and altcoin exposure for now. If that breakout doesn’t come sooner, a relief rally is likely on the horizon in May, when FTX is expected to distribute the remaining funds to its creditors👀
