Bitcoin's Potential to Surpass $70K and Its Impact on the Market

Lyra Finance, a decentralized BTC options marketplace, indicates a 20% chance of Bitcoin surpassing $70,000 by the end of April, with options data suggesting this possibility. Traders are speculating on price trends ahead of and following Bitcoin's reward halving in mid-April, and the consensus is that Bitcoin could see further gains due to fiscal policy in the U.S. and a declining global recession probability.

The Macro Forces Driving Crypto Beyond Bitcoin's Rise After Fed Rate Hike.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rose after the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy decision, but Bitcoin has stalled below a key level. Crypto traders are closely watching inflation data due next week, with expectations coalescing around the idea that it may take a shockingly hot inflation print for the Fed to execute another rate hike. While macroeconomic factors will remain influential for moves across cryptos, other market observers continue to focus on the regulatory backdrop for digital assets in the U.S. Bitcoin still remains anchored, unlikely to rally above the $30,000 level until the U.S. gets some regulatory clarity.

Crypto Traders Warn of Unsustainable Rise in Dog-Themed Tokens, Predict DOGE Explosion and Top Altcoins to Watch.

Tokens based on the Shiba Inu dog breed, such as shiba inu (SHIB), floki (FLOKI), kishu inu (KISHU), and baby dogecoin (BABYDOGE), have seen a surge in prices after Twitter replaced its logo with Dogecoin's Shiba Inu mascot. However, some crypto traders warn that such rises are unsustainable and not indicative of a long-term bull run. While there could still be long-term growth for these tokens if fundamental features strengthen, such as the launch of Shibarium and the growing recognition of Dogecoin by Twitter and the payment world, the sentiment for memecoins is not new and the growth may fade off in a few days.

Ether Emerges as Top Contender Amid Bitcoin Rally.

While Bitcoin continues to surge, crypto traders are turning their attention to Ether ahead of the upcoming "Shanghai Hard Fork" upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain network. Ether has outperformed Bitcoin in the past week, with prices rising 3% to over $1,900. The upgrade is expected to make staking easier, which could support prices, but may also cause selling pressure as some investors exit their positions. Altcoins like Cardano and Polygon have also seen gains, while memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have weakened.

Bitcoin traders await inflation data to confirm new bull market.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have remained stable over the weekend, but the recent rally in digital assets seems to be fading. The price of Bitcoin has risen less than 1% over the past 24 hours to $27,850, remaining shy of a recent peak near $29,000. Crypto traders may have to wait until Friday for the next major catalyst, and the $30,000 level is still seen as key after a rally that has carried Bitcoin up from around $16,500 since the start of the year.
