$BTC As of April 2025, the crypto market is undergoing a period of cautious consolidation following the recent Bitcoin halving. Bitcoin is holding steady between $65,000 and $68,000, finding solid support but facing resistance at higher levels. Ethereum trades around $3,300, supported by rising institutional interest in ETH staking. Performance among altcoins is mixed—Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism are seeing increased adoption, while meme coins are correcting after a strong Q1 surge. Overall sentiment is neutral with a slight bullish tilt, helped by macroeconomic factors such as a pause in Fed rate hikes and growing enthusiasm for tokenized assets. Stablecoins continue to lead in trading volume, reflecting a measured, wait-and-see attitude from investors. Regulatory clarity in both the U.S. and Europe is becoming a key driver of confidence. The market appears to be in a healthy accumulation phase, with growing optimism for a potential breakout in the summer months.
