$BTC At 7:50 a.m. Eastern time on Friday, bitcoin’s price held steady at $103,191, pushing its market capitalization to $2.04 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of $55.17 billion. The intraday price range spanned from $99,239.45 to a local high of $104,332, showcasing a bullish tone tempered by emerging signs of consolidation.
Bitcoin The daily chart indicates a clear bullish breakout, with bitcoin (BTC) rising from approximately $95,000 to its current high. The volume spike during this movement confirms strong upward momentum. Resistance is established at $104,332, while support is observed around the prior consolidation zone of $95,000. Analysts suggest that a favorable entry might present itself on a retest near $97,000 to $98,500, especially if accompanied by bullish candlestick formations such as a hammer or doji with significant volume.
#FOMCMeeting The Fed Continues its Balancing Act Markets celebrated a benign jobs report on Friday, which analysts said was a sign that Trump’s radical overhaul of US trade policy hasn’t yet dented the labor market. Strategists say that report will likely give central bankers the confidence to hold rates steady for another month. But in the months ahead, Fed officials will have to balance the twin risks of higher inflation and slowing growth—a tricky proposition.
“This is a very tough spot, because you’re seeing a stagflationary shock with the tariffs,” says Don Rissmiller, chief economist at Strategas. Tariffs will put upward pressure on prices, while the labor market is at risk as the economy slows. “That’s a problem for both mandates,” Rissmiller says. The Fed wants low and stable inflation alongside maximum employment. Higher inflation generally warrants tighter monetary policy to help slow the economy, while a slowing economy and a cooling labor market would call for lower interest rates and more stimulative policy.

$BTC Bitcoin is flipping the institutional narrative as Blackrock warns it’s no longer about risk exposure—but the greater risk of missing out on crypto’s unstoppable financial ascent.
Blackrock Pushes Bitcoin Into Spotlight: Could Be Too Risky Not to Own Any in Today’s Market Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, emphasized during the Token2049 crypto conference that institutional views on bitcoin could dramatically shift if the cryptocurrency proves it can behave independently of risk-on equities. In a series of remarks shared with DL News following his appearance at the event, Mitchnick underscored a pivotal factor that could drive bitcoin’s adoption in traditional finance: its correlation to tech stocks. He stated:
The correlation between bitcoin and tech stocks is going to be an absolutely critical driver. If bitcoin trades more like a tech stock, it is not very interesting to institutions.
The Blackrock head of digital assets further explained that BTC’s potential role in portfolio construction hinges on its performance during market downturns. If the asset can exhibit lower or even inverse correlation to what he referred to as “left tail” events—severe and rare negative market occurrences—it could gain substantial appeal as a hedging tool.
He stressed that if BTC trades with low or even negative correlation to left tail events, “then it becomes potentially a very important portfolio asset to all manner of institutional portfolios.”
In his concluding observation, Mitchnick suggested that bitcoin could transition from a speculative bet to a strategic necessity in the eyes of large investors, stating:
The conversation goes from, ‘Is this too risky for us?’ to ‘Might it be risky not to own any?’
