TheĀ cryptocurrencyĀ market has generally been sideways this week. The world's largest cryptocurrency,Ā BitcoinĀ (BTC), is about to close the week with a 1% increase at $85,089. The situation is aĀ bitĀ more complicated on theĀ altcoinĀ side, with some cryptocurrencies experiencing slight declines while others are preparing to close the week in the green zone.
However, many new altcoin events and economic developments will be waiting for cryptocurrency investors in the new week. Especially the signs from US President Donald Trump that the war between Russia and Ukraine may end will make the week interesting.
Here is the weekly cryptocurrency calendar we have prepared specially for you as Bitcoinsistemi.com.
Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), a popular Solana-based memeĀ coin, is currently gaining market attention due to recent investor buying activity. Today, Lookonchain spotted a whale who purchased 2 million FARTCOIN tokens worth $1.7 million at anĀ average priceĀ of $0.857.
As it is firmly compressed between two important exponential moving averages, Bitcoin is currently experiencing a crucial technical moment that resembles a traditional price squeeze. Although bulls may just be in the lead, this tension in the charts is preparing for a possible volatility-driven breakout in either direction. #BTCRebound #SaylorBTCPurchase Bitcoin is currently trading at about $84,000 just above the 100-day EMA and encountering resistance from the 200-day EMA at about $87,350. A resolution appears imminent as a result of the pressure created by this small trading range. A break above the 200 EMA would invalidate the long-standing death cross that has hampered Bitcoins midterm performance in addition to indicating bullish momentum. #TRXETF Article image The chart's slightly declining volume is frequently a sign of a coiling move, which is a prelude to explosive price action. When a clear move occurs, traders will have room to influence price action because the RSI is neutral at about 51.5, indicating that Bitcoin is neither overbought nor oversold. #TrumpVsPowell A short squeeze could force prices back toward the psychological $90,000 level and higher if Bitcoin is able to break above the 200 EMA. A move like that would turn around pessimistic sentiment and possibly usher in a new bullish market phase. However, if resistance is not overcome, there may be a rejection down toward the $82,000ā$83,000 support zone where the 100 EMA currently provides a safety net. Below that, there is a chance that Bitcoin will lose steam and enter another period of consolidation or #BinanceAlphaAlert
A closely followed crypto strategist and trader believes that the time for altcoins to shine is close at hand. #BTCRebound Pseudonymous analyst TechDev tells his 520,200 followers on the social media platform X that two macroeconomic factors are flashing bullish for altcoins based on historical precedent. #BNBChainMeme The trader shares a chart suggesting that altcoins tend to explode whenever global liquidity surges and the business cycle bottoms out. #SaylorBTCPurchase Global liquidity refers to the amount of money sloshing in the worldās financial system, while the business cycle tracks the rise and fall of economic activity over time. #FederalReserveIndependence #TrumpVsPowell
$BROCCOLI714 Ethereum is facing economic pressure, withĀ transactionĀ feesāthe networkās largest source of revenueāfalling to their lowest levels in years. #BTCRebound Transaction fees on the Ethereum base layer averaged approximately $0.16 per transaction in April 2025. This is the lowest figure the network has seen since 2020. #SaylorBTCPurchase Blob fees ā the special fees created by Ethereumās layer-2 solutions ā have collapsed. For the week endingĀ March 30, blob fees amounted to just 3.18Ā ETH, roughly $5,000 at current prices. Thatās a staggering 95% decline since mid-March. #BNBChainMeme Experts say the fees have declined not because of economic conditions but because users are migrating to the Ethereum base layer. Instead, they select cheaper and quicker layer-2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism. #TRXETF Layer-2s have made transactions cheap, but theyāve also eviscerated the core revenue of Ethereum. Many fear Ethereumās base layer is being ācannibalizedā by its scaling solutions. #FederalReserveIndependence This means fewer users are completing normal transactions,Ā saidĀ Brian Quinlivan, a director at Santiment. Instead, theyāre using smart contracts or layer-2s that charge less.
Should this continue, Ethereum may have dire financial issues. Investor sentiment is already brittle. Some analysts expect Ether (ETH) prices to collapse to near $1,100 if things go south.

In a recent video, top YouTube influencer andĀ AltcoinĀ Daily host Aaron Arnold makes a compelling case for whyĀ Bitcoin, Cardano, and Solana could see explosive growth. #BTCRebound AĀ keyĀ catalyst Arnold highlights is Charles Schwabās plan to launch spotĀ cryptoĀ trading within the next 12 months. Charles Schwab is one of the largest financial institutions in the world, managing over $10 trillion in assets. #SaylorBTCPurchase #BNBChainMeme #FederalReserveIndependence According to SchwabĀ CEOĀ Rick Wurster, the firm is expanding beyond crypto ETFs and futures. This decision responds to a 400% surge in user interest in their crypto-related web content. #TrumpVsPowell Schwabās entry into spot crypto reflects a broader trend where Wall Street firms are racing to serveĀ digitalĀ asset investors.
Bitcoin price tethered near the $85,000 zone on Thursday despite bearish sentiment across global financial markets linked to the US-China trade war. While equity markets faced sharp drawdowns, the flagshipĀ cryptocurrencyĀ remained resilient following heightened political friction between the White House and the Federal Reserve. #BTCRebound President Donald Trump amplified criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, suggesting potential removal after Powell reaffirmed the Fedās legal independence during a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago. Powell emphasized that the central bankās autonomy is protected by statute, stating, āWeāre not removable except for cause.ā
#SaylorBTCPurchase US President Donald Trump Criticizes US Fed Chief Jerome Powell, April 17, 2025 | Source: TruthSocial #BNBChainMeme The remarks followed a series of posts on Trumpās Truth SocialĀ account, where he labeled Powellās policy direction āa complete mess,ā accusing the Fed of missing timely opportunities to reduce interest rates despite fallingĀ inflationĀ and commodity prices. #TRXETF Trump pointed to the European Central Bankās expected seventh rate cut as justification for immediate Fed action. #FederalReserveIndependence He claimed inflation was under control and called for lower rates to support economic growth.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly preparing to begin interviewing candidates to potentially replace Powell later this year, adding further uncertainty to the Fedās policy outlook.
$ENJ Ripple has gained notable traction lately due to a flurry of developments and amid speculations over theĀ blockchainĀ firmās potentialĀ integration with theĀ SWIFTĀ payment network. Besides, the recent acquisition of the primeĀ brokerĀ Hidden Road has further fueled discussions in the market. However, amid this, a renownedĀ XRPĀ community figure refuted claims and said that the blockchain firm is unlikely to integrate with SWIFT, citingĀ keyĀ reasons.
āRipple Is Not Going To Integrate With SWIFTā, Expert Says #BTCRebound AsĀ Ripple Vs SWIFT discussionsĀ are soaring, XRP advocate Arthur on X recently dismissed the idea of the integration claims. According to him, the blockchain firm has always aimed to disrupt, not cooperate with, traditional financial messaging systems. #SaylorBTCPurchase In addition, he explained that theĀ XRPĀ issuerĀ was created as a faster, cheaper, and more transparent alternative to SWIFT, which he described as outdated. Simultaneously, Arthur emphasized the blockchain firmās recent acquisition of Hidden Road. He said the acquisition isnāt about bridging into legacy finance but replacing it. #BNBChainMeme Meanwhile, this deal now gives Ripple direct access to core financial services likeĀ clearing, custody, and foreignĀ exchange, he noted.Ā āIt signals that Ripple doesnāt need SWIFT anymoreā, Arthur wrote. #TRXETF On the other hand, he added that geopolitical tensions have turned SWIFT into a tool of control, especially for sanctioning countries. In contrast, the XRP issuer offers aĀ decentralized, censorship-resistant system that better aligns with the needs of emerging markets. #FederalReserveIndependence He also highlighted that the firm is not trying to integrate into traditional finance. Instead, traditional finance firms are increasingly moving toward RippleāsĀ ecosystem. Arthur pointed to the blockchain firmās growing tools, likeĀ smartĀ liquidityĀ routing and tokenized real-world assets, as examples of how it is becoming a major gateway for institutions.
Old-school commodity trader Peter L. Brandt, who has been in the business since the mid-1970s, has stirred theĀ cryptoĀ community with his recent tweet, where he predicts Ethereum to nosedive to a 2022 low of $800.
ETHĀ to revisit $800, Peter Brandt predicts
Brandt shared a chart, which clearly demonstrates the way he expects Ethereum price trajectory to go from the current trading point. The chart shows aĀ descending triangleĀ patternĀ which usually predicts further and deeper price declines. #BTCRebound #SaylorBTCPurchase #BNBChainMeme #TRXETF Over the past year, the second largestĀ cryptocurrencyĀ has already displayed a massive 46% decline. Since Wednesday, when ETH crashed by 4%, followingĀ BitcoinĀ down after the Fed Reserveās announcement about maintaining the current interest rates, it has recovered by 3.56% and is changing hands at $1,601. When Brandt published his chart, ETH traded at $1,587 perĀ coin.

#BinanceAlphaAlert Earlier this week, Peter Brandt slammed Ethereum as āworthless junk.ā
This came in a recent interview on the Unchained podcast, āBitcoin to $200K+ This Year,ā in which he highlighted major entities expected to accumulate BTC. #BTCRebound #SaylorBTCPurchase 3 Big Bitcoin Buyers Over the Next Year According to Hougan, governments will purchase hundreds of thousands of BTC tokens in the coming year. He suggests that this large-scale buying will become a significant driver of Bitcoinās price growth. #TRXETF Additionally, corporations are also expected to increase their Bitcoin purchases. In 2024, corporations acquired approximately 350,000 Bitcoin, and Hougan believes this figure will rise in 2025. Hundreds of companies will likely follow the trend, contributing to an ongoing institutional push toward Bitcoin adoption. #FederalReserveIndependence Notably, Hougan points to institutional investors recognizing Bitcoin as a crucial component of global capital markets. He asserts that failing to hold Bitcoin could position investors as being āshortā against the benchmark of global capital markets. This growing recognition, he believes, will lead to hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into Bitcoin to align with market expectations. #TRXETF
