Pourquoi le Bitcoin maintient 64 000 $ après la pause restrictive de la Fed

Le Bitcoin se stabilise autour de 64 000 $ après la décision de la Fed de maintenir ses taux d'intérêt dans la fourchette 3,50-3,75 %. Bien que perçu comme une pause, le vote a révélé des divisions internes, trois membres plaidant pour une hausse, signalant une attitude globalement restrictive. Cette position limite l'appétit pour les actifs risqués comme les cryptomonnaies. Le marché a réagi avec une volatilité modérée. Les FNB spot sur Bitcoin ont enregistré un afflux net de 32,1 millions de dollars, mettant fin à une série de sorties, tandis que les FNB Ethereum ont subi des sorties. Cela indique une rotation des capitaux vers l'actif principal. Les niveaux clés à surveiller pour le Bitcoin sont le support à 63 000-63 500 $ et la résistance autour de 66 000 $. Malgré la pression macroéconomique, le marché ne montre pas de signes de capitulation. Les fondamentaux du réseau Ethereum restent solides avec une file d'attente importante pour le staking. Le report du vote sur le CLARITY Act au Sénat américain a tempéré les attentes réglementaires immédiates. Pour la fin du mois, les données macro américaines (inflation, dépenses) guideront les senteurs. Le scénario de base prévoit une consolidation du Bitcoin entre 63 000 et 66 000 $. La résilience au-dessus de 63 000 $, le maintien de l'Ethereum au-dessus de 1 860 $ et la poursuite des entrées institutionnelles seront des facteurs déterminants pour une éventuelle reprise au second semestre.

Parker Lewis explique pourquoi le bitcoin reste la meilleure monnaie

Parker Lewis, un analyste bitcoin renommé, a critiqué les stratégies marketing des entreprises qui se présentent comme des trésoreries crypto. Il estime que la vente d'actions privilégiées perpétuelles, présentées comme un "crédit numérique", déforme fondamentalement la nature du bitcoin. Il souligne que le bitcoin n'a pas de rendement fiduciaire intégré et que les promesses de dividendes reposent sur un modèle risqué nécessitant un afflux constant de nouveaux investisseurs. Lewis met en garde contre les risques de ces dérivés, notant que le marché des actions privilégiées perpétuelles (1 000 milliards de dollars) est minuscule comparé au marché du crédit mondial (300 000 milliards de dollars), car les institutions évitent ces risques qu'elles transfèrent aux particuliers. Il rejette également l'idée que la volatilité du bitcoin le rende impropre à la plupart des gens. Pour lui, cette volatilité est une conséquence naturelle de l'adoption massive d'un actif à offre fixe et inélastique. Il conseille d'acheter des bitcoins directement plutôt que des actions d'entreprises comme MicroStrategy. Détourner l'attention vers ces dérivés corporatifs fait oublier la vraie menace : la dépréciation rapide des monnaies fiduciaires. Lewis illustre cela avec son "indice du ribeye", montrant une inflation annuelle de 12 à 13% sur le prix d'un steak, bien supérieure aux chiffres officiels. La stratégie la plus sûre, selon lui, reste la possession directe de bitcoin et le contrôle de ses clés privées, pour se protéger des turbulences macroéconomiques, plutôt que de courir après des rendements corporatifs douteux qui amplifient les risques systémiques.
