Warum liegt der Bitcoin-Kurs unter 80.000 Dollar?

[lklol]

Bitcoin price has remained stuck within a tight range between $77,000 - $80,000 as investors seem to be opting for a cautiously optimistic outlook ahead of key events like the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision and the finalized transition of Fed leadership.

After a failed breakout attempt that failed to breach the $79,500 resistance during last week’s peak liquidity window, Bitcoin price traded sideways throughout the day.

Powell’s final policy cycle in focus

Even though consistent buying demand from Spot Bitcoin ETFs, including the newly launched Morgan Stanley (MSBT) fund, has prevented a breakdown below the $77,000 support level, traders are looking ahead to the FOMC meeting and the subsequent press conference set for early next month.

This would be the final major policy cycle under Jerome Powell before his term officially concludes, as his responsibilities are set to end on May 15, 2026, with Kevin Warsh positioned as the likely successor.

Markets are pricing in a second straight pause in interest rate hikes, though the "higher-for-longer" narrative remains the dominant market sentiment.

US year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 4.7% this month, fueled largely by spiking energy prices.

Meanwhile, April 27 marks a critical release date for Federal Funds Effective Rate data, which currently hovers around 3.64%.

The Fed remains vocal about its 2% inflation target.

Any nowcast data suggesting that GDP growth is too hot or that inflation is sticky prevents Bitcoin from making a decisive breakout, as it signals that the restrictive monetary environment will persist longer than anticipated.

Middle East tensions weigh on sentiment

Against this backdrop, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remain a primary driver of market volatility and risk-off sentiment.

The situation around the Strait of Hormuz continues to disrupt global supply chains and energy markets.

Iran is still restricting daily passage through the Strait of Hormuz to approximately 10 ships per day, which represents a massive reduction from standard operating capacity.

At the same time, the IMF’s April 2026 World Economic Outlook has lowered the appetite for risk assets across the board.

Global growth projections have been revised downward to 3.1% for 2026 as a direct result of persistent regional conflicts and the tightening of credit conditions globally.

As such, the market remains in a state of suspended animation, unable to price in a full recovery while energy-driven inflation looms.

If a definitive ceasefire is reached and the Strait is fully reopened, then we could see a relief rally that finally pushes Bitcoin past the $80,000 mark.

Thin liquidity till $85k

According to crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades, there’s pretty thin liquidity until that $85K mark.

While there are some smaller levels visible as the price has been "taking the stairs up," the heatmap indicates a lack of major resistance clusters in the immediate overhead.

This means the upside rally could move very quickly once the $80,000 level is decisively breached, as there is little standing in the way of a push toward $85,000.

However, the analyst also cautions that on the downside, there is nothing major to catch a potential fall until the $65K region.

As such, Bitcoin is currently navigating a range where volatility could spike in either direction if the current sideways range is broken.
