Data shows that after briefly dipping to $75,000 yesterday afternoon following the Federal Reserve\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/federal-reserve-holds-interest-rates-steady-at-3-5-3-75\/\">decision<\/a> to leave interest rates unchanged, <span>bitcoin<\/span> was on the ascendancy. By 9:30 a.m. EST, it had not only reclaimed $76,000 but also briefly appeared to test $76,500 resistance.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>However, it was not smooth sailing as the <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> dumped heavily shortly after tapping the morning session high of $76,365. By the time the sell-off eased, <span>bitcoin<\/span> had dropped to just under $75,400 before kicking off its second rally of the day. According to market data, <span>bitcoin<\/span> rallied from this point to $76,528 \u2014 an intraday high \u2014 in just under eight hours.<\/p>\n<p>Though it retreated to $76,300, <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s price action meant it closed a 24-hour period with a gain of 0.7%, leaving it poised to close April with a gain of 13%. Should this happen, it would be the first time this year that the top <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> ended a month with positive gains. The April 30 recovery also saw <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s market capitalization rise to approximately $1.53 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> closed the 24-hour period with modest gains, the reversal triggered the <span>liquidation<\/span> of $75 million in long bets on the <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> versus nearly $17 million in shorts. Overall, the <span>crypto<\/span> economy saw $266 million in leveraged long positions liquidated in 24 hours compared to $89 million in shorts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being widely expected, the Fed\u2019s interest rate decision initially sent <span>bitcoin<\/span> into a tailspin, but only briefly. For market participants like Gracie Lin, CEO of OKX SG, <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s <span>volatility<\/span> shortly after the rate announcement shouldn\u2019t obscure what has been an eight-week structural recovery. She cited the continuing inflows into spot <span>bitcoin<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/blackrock-pulls-112m-from-ibit-as-bitcoin-etf-outflows-extend-cooling-phase\/\">exchange-traded funds<\/a> (ETFs) as evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. spot <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span> have pulled in roughly US$3.7 billion between late February and late April \u2014 the first sustained inflow period of 2026 after four consecutive months of outflows,\u201d Lin said. \u201cMeanwhile, despite macroeconomic and geopolitical shocks, <span>bitcoin<\/span> recently tested the $80,000 level. Singapore, given its strategic positioning and clear regulatory framework, is a hub of institutional activity, and the allocators we speak with here are not watching single Fed decisions \u2014 they are watching whether institutional participation is sustained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sergei Gorev, head of risk at Youhodler, noted that the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> has already had two consecutive quarters of decline, something he called \u201cextremely rare.\u201d While every <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> winter is accompanied by a strong recovery, Gorev warned of potential headwinds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we may be facing another negative quarter,\u201d Gorev said. \u201cEvery time a new leader replaces the old one at the Federal Reserve, the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> begins to decline. We have already seen this happen three times in a row. We are now approaching a new change in leadership at the Federal Reserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> repeats the pattern of declining next week after a Fed meeting \u2014 as it has done after eight of the bank\u2019s last nine meetings \u2014 the price could easily fall below $70,000.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col overflow-hidden rounded-lg !bg-[#E8EDFA] p-[9px] md:hidden\">\n<div class=\"relative aspect-video w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[15px]\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"absolute inset-x-0 bottom-0 m-0 p-3 text-xl font-bold capitalize leading-[1.17] tracking-[-0.4px] !text-white\">Bitcoin Swings $2,800 as Traders Dump at $77,882 Peak, Pushing Price Toward $75,100<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2.5 px-1 pt-2.5 pb-1\">\n<p class=\"m-0 line-clamp-2 text-xs leading-[1.3] !text-[#67656E]\">On April 29, bitcoin experienced significant price swings, peaking at $77,882 before retreating to $75,100.
