#MercadoCripto A series of geopolitical and macroeconomic events are combining this week, creating high volatility in both Bitcoin (BTC) and financial markets in general. This Wednesday, the Federal Reserve (Fed), the US central bank, will announce the outlook for interest rates. While rates are expected to remain unchanged in the 4.25% to 4.5% range, all eyes are focused on the subsequent speech by Jerome Powell, the Fed's chairman. When Powell offers an optimistic outlook for the economy, stock markets and cryptocurrencies tend to react with consolidation or upwards. Otherwise, they usually respond downwards, as CriptoNoticias reported. The official reiterated in the first quarter his projection of making two rate cuts this year, which would increase available liquidity in the economy. However, on several occasions, he indicated that there was no rush to implement this policy, given that the economy remained "generally strong" with a "solid" labor market.
The Fed is also taking a "wait-and-see" approach to the decision, while they evaluate the impact of US President Donald Trump's tariff measures. While the president paused the tariffs on imports he had imposed, bringing relief to the markets, he is maintaining those imposed on China, sparking uncertainty in the economy.
However, this week is key in this "trade war," as senior US officials and their Chinese counterparts will meet in Switzerland this weekend to discuss the matter. The meeting raises hopes for a possible de-escalation of the trade war.
Representatives of the Trump administration have also already met with officials from various countries for trade negotiations, which has allayed fears that the measures will not be eased, triggering higher inflation and a recession.
#analysis #xrp XRP had an explosive start in 2025. After several years, Ripple Labs' cryptocurrency managed to reach a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.39 in January, unleashing euphoria among its supporters.
However, it then entered a price correction phase that cooled high expectations… at least for now.
For some, it is a reason to lament, but for others, technical analysis is giving a powerful signal: XRP is consolidating a bullish flag.
As explained by CriptoNoticias, the bullish flag is a technical analysis pattern that excites investors. The formation of this figure occurs with a large upward movement, followed by a compression phase, where the maximum and minimum prices narrow until converging at a point.
Thus, a shape similar to a triangle is formed. The resolution of this pattern is generally with a strong upward movement.
This means that if XRP manages to consolidate the formation of the triangle, Ripple Labs' cryptocurrency will have enough momentum to reach a new ATH.

$BTC #financial Bitcoin has come to redefine the dynamics of financial markets, eclipsing gold in attracting capital flows through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during 2025.
While gold reached a historic record of $3,500 per ounce in April, currently trading below that peak, the largest digital currency in the world by market capitalization attracts institutional and corporate trust that challenges the fluctuations of its price.

This phenomenon signals a shift in investor priorities, with bitcoin consolidating as a globally relevant asset.
The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed by BlackRock, has captured $6.96 billion in net inflows since January, positioning itself as the sixth ETF with the highest capital flow in 2025.

This fund surpassed the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the largest physically-backed gold ETF, which recorded $6.5 billion and fell to seventh place, according to data reported by Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, last Monday.
Gold's rise does not hinder investments in bitcoin Despite gold rising 29% this year, reaching a historic high of $3,500 per ounce on April 21, bitcoin maintains a unique appeal.
