Bitcoin price prediction amid this week’s FOMC data
Bitcoin ($BTC) could experience heightened volatility this week as five major central banks, led by the United States’ Federal Reserve, prepare to announce their monetary policies.

After experiencing a leveraged-backed rally over the past few weeks, as Finbold explained, Bitcoin price could correct following this week’s release of the Federal Funds Rate and the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) Statement. Furthermore, $BTC price dropped every time the Fed released its FOMC statement since July 2025 until last month, according to an analysis shared on X by trading expert @XBTkaz on April 27.

On Wednesday, April 29, the Fed is expected to hold rates steady at 3.75%, despite ongoing executive pressure to cut further. At press time, Polymarket traders were 99.9% sure the Fed will not change its rates, with the odds of a 25bps cut at less than 1%.

Bitcoin price targets amid FOMC report

Bitcoin price has been trapped in a multi-month bear market, characterized by lower highs and lower lows. Since February 2026 to date, $BTC price has formed a potential bear flag, largely defined by a rising symmetrical channel, based on insights from a technical trader on X alias JDK Analysis.

Following the recent $BTC price pump above $79,400, this analyst believes a lower high may have formed. As such, a potential selloff could happen in the near future to retest the lower border of the rising channel.

If the Fed maintains its lending rates, a potential sell-the-news scenario could occur in the subsequent days and weeks. Moreover, a $BTC price pump into the FOMC statement could mean the event has already been priced in by the majority.

Are NFTs signaling a market shift? THESE indicators say yes
Over the years, most crypto sectors have seen strong capital inflows, while one has lagged.

Looking at the data, whether it’s Real World Assets (RWA), stablecoins, or emerging AI agents, all have seen major capital rotation, with triple-digit growth in under half a decade. NFTs, however, have struggled, with market cap still far below the $15 billion+ levels seen in the 2021–2022 cycle.

That said, April has started to shift sentiment. As the chart below highlights, total $NFT market capitalization has surged 54% over the past month, bringing the combined market cap of $NFT [Non Fungible Tokens] projects back above the $2 billion level for the first time since early Q1.

Unsurprisingly, traders are split on the market reaction.

On one side, supporters see this as renewed momentum for a sector that’s been underperforming for a while, pointing to it as a sign of renewed capital flowing back into crypto. On the other hand, skeptics are quick to zoom out and compare it to the 2021-2022 cycle, pointing out that the current move still looks relatively muted, even within the 2024-2026 range.

Backing this skepticism, critics point out how concentrated the move is. Most of the gains come from blue-chip collections, especially Bored Apes, rather than a broad-based recovery across the market. Naturally, this raises the question: Are these flows into NFTs a bullish bet or just a temporary boost?

$TON blockchain $NFT volume leads the market

Looking at $NFT trading volume toward the end of the Q1 cycle, calling it a temporary spike might be too early.

From a technical standpoint, there’s a clear divergence forming between major chains like Ethereum [ETH] and Toncoin [$TON], highlighting how uneven $NFT activity has become across ecosystems.

As the chart shows, in March, $TON led $NFT trading volume at $39.8 million, ahead of Ethereum’s $35.9 million, ma

The White House has signaled that a new step toward operationalizing the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve has been prepared, with an announcement expected within weeks. Summary White House adviser Patrick Witt said a major announcement on the U.S. Bitcoin reserve is expected within weeks, pointing to progress on legal and operational structure. Lawmakers including Cynthia Lummis and Nick Begich are working to pass legislation that would formalise the reserve and allow up to 1 million Bitcoin to be acquired over time. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Patrick Witt said officials have been working through the legal structure needed to secure and manage Bitcoin already held by the government.  He said the administration is close to finalizing key interpretations required to “solidify that and protect the digital assets, specifically bitcoin that we have on the government balance sheet.” During the panel, Witt confirmed that internal work has focused on translating last year’s executive order into a functioning framework, with further action from the executive branch expected shortly.  He said a “big announcement” would outline the next phase, while adding that legislative backing would still be required to give the reserve long-term footing. Lawmakers move to anchor reserve into statute Alongside executive action, lawmakers have continued efforts to formalize the reserve through legislation. Nick Begich said the bill previously introduced as the BITCOIN Act is being renamed the American Reserves Modernization Act, or ARMA, as part of that process.

U.S. President Donald Trump has softened his stance on prediction markets days after voicing concern over their rapid rise. Summary Donald Trump said some experienced participants support prediction markets, softening his earlier opposition. He pointed to adoption in other countries, warning the U.S. could fall behind if it does not participate. Speaking to reporters in Florida on Saturday, Trump acknowledged that some experienced participants support these platforms, even as he maintained a degree of hesitation.  “I don’t know. I know some people who are very smart. They like it,” he said, adding, “They disagree, but they like it.”  He pointed to international adoption as a factor, stating, “A lot of other countries are doing it, and when the other countries do it, we get left out in the cold if we don’t do it.” Those remarks followed comments made at the White House earlier in the week, where Trump had taken a more critical tone.  You might also like: Blockchain Association presses Fed to formalize end of reputation risk in bank oversight Addressing questions around well-timed bets linked to geopolitical events, he said, “Well, you know, the whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino,” before adding that he did not support the concept despite its spread.  “I don’t like it conceptually, but it is what it is,” he said, describing the environment as “a crazy world.” Rising activity across platforms has drawn attention to the sector’s growth.

Bitcoin longs build, but macro pressure mounts – Is BTC’s breakout close?

As Bitcoin [$BTC] cooled after a strong rally, underlying flows revealed a clear divergence between selling pressure and accumulation. Price retreated from the $100K–$110K zone toward the mid-$70K range, reflecting short-term uncertainty.

During this phase, mega-whales above 10k $BTC distributed roughly 25,500 $BTC, locking in gains. However, sharks holding 100–1,000 $BTC absorbed about 37,920 $BTC over thirty days, offsetting this supply. This rotation shows mid-tier players step in as price weakens, reinforcing a defensive base.

Meanwhile, Exchange Reserves hovered around 2.6 million $BTC, marking a multi-year low, suggesting that coins moved off exchanges into long-term custody, tightening supply. If demand returns, this structure can support upside, while weak participation may delay expansion.

Whale longs and ETF flows signal Bitcoin conviction

As Bitcoin stabilizes after recent volatility, positioning across derivatives and spot markets begins to diverge.

This shift emerges as institutional demand absorbs supply, with spot ETFs buying nearly 19,000 $BTC in five days, far exceeding miner output. These flows tighten liquid supply, reinforcing a structural floor.

As the Fear and Greed Index approached 48, retail sentiment remained cautious. Whales accumulate, but retail sales offer liquidity. This arrangement can spur growth if conviction grows, but hesitancy could prevent follow-through even in the face of increased structural demand.
