Ahead of the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, and following positive developments in the US-China trade talks, Bitcoin BTC $96 611 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $29.09 B price has resumed upside, gaining another 2.33% and moving past $96,600 levels today. Now, BTC is eyeing a major breakout above $100K levels, eyeing fresh all-time highs ahead.
In its latest report, crypto exchange Bitfinex noted that BTC can hit fresh all-time highs only if the price sustains above the crucial support levels of $95,000. In the May 6 markets report, the exchange stated:
“The $95,000 level — currently under consolidation — is a critical pivot point, acting as the lower boundary of a three-month range that defined market structure between November 2024 and February 2025”.

The Bitfinex report also mentions that if BTC holds above the $95,000 mark, it would mark a “structural shift” back into the bullish territory, keeping the gates open for fresh all-time highs. But failure to do so could lead to a major downtrend.
Analysts noted that the coming days will be critical in determining whether Bitcoin embarks on a sustained breakout or retreats to retest lower support levels. Negotiations in the US-China trade war, and Jerome Powell ’s positive commentary at the FOMC could set the tone for the next directional move for Bitcoin.
The US Federal Reserve has launched its largest three-year bond purchase program since 2021, injecting $20 billion daily, according to an update from Money Guru Digital on X. On the other hand, markets anticipate potential interest rate cuts at the upcoming FOMC meeting on May 7.
