Bitcoin’s Wild Mood Swings: Why Bulls Are Excited & Investors Still Sleep With the Lights On

by

If you’re eagerly awaiting a Bitcoin surge, you might want to grab a magazine, or perhaps an entire 700-page autobiography—preferably your own. Because, technically, yes: every blinking, whirring indicator is pointing to The Upside (which, in this case, is not a Pixar movie, but more of a psychological thriller involving your savings account). And yet, here we are, with all the excitement of a wet blanket draped over an unopened birthday present. Why? Because panic, confusion, and a slight whiff of dread are the things that actually grease the wheels of the US and global economies. 👀

The Market is Lurking—Sorry, “Waiting”—for the FOMC

Nothing says “life on the edge” quite like banking on nonfarm payroll numbers: 177K jobs added in April when the financiers predicted 133K. Who was counting? Not me, obviously, but let’s assume someone somewhere was thrilled. The dark punchline is that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell now enters the chat wielding the mystical FOMC gavel, ready to declare, “Rates Stay Where They Are Because I Said So.”

No cut in interest rates equals no break for anyone actually wanting to do something as outlandish as “grow a business.” Instead, everyone just gets to keep doing that thing where you stare at your bank statement and sigh. Economic stagnation: not just for dinner anymore!

Wall Street, meanwhile, is glued to Powell’s every facial tic on Wednesday: is that a hawkish squint or just lactose intolerance? Pundits everywhere prepare to write long, important-sounding articles about what he really meant.

So, yeah. Money is being hoarded with the dedication of a toddler clutching the last bite of birthday cake, because—despite what technical charts say—a rally without investor confidence is just cosplay at this point. Hold tight, apparently Wednesday will either kill or resurrect the party. 🎉

Destiny Awaits, or Possibly Just Lunch

Zoom into the short-term chart, and you’ll spot $BTC looking extra bashful: trading volume is drooping like a houseplant you forgot to water. The next big splash could be the FOMC meeting itself, or maybe everyone just gave up and went on vacation. If the sellers really are as exhausted as they seem (picture Wall Street in sweatpants), maybe the trend actually manages to cheer up for once.

But pinning down the $BTC chart pattern is like determining which Real Housewife started the fight. All we know is price is squeezing toward an apex between two converging lines—possibly plotting a breakout, or, more likely, a lackluster sideways shuffle. What fun!

Stochastic RSI is threatening to throw the party overboard, drifting down and promising to tip us into the abyss below $93,000. Should that happen, bulls will have to organize themselves and, you know, actually do something. 😬

The Bullish Vibes That Just Won’t Quit

The weekly chart, though? It’s keeping the faith. Support is holding, bears are doing their best cranky Doorman act, but three shiny indicators at the bottom are practically waving pom-poms for another leg up. The Stochastic RSI is skipping over the middle line, RSI is crossing up, and MACD is lining up its ducks. If the histogram turns green, expect at least two financial bloggers to pass out in euphoria.

Is the trend still up? Sure. Is it just a matter of time before the bulls come dragging their egos back in? Absolutely. So settle bets with your therapist, start a group chat with anxious friends, and prepare for the most important question nobody can answer: how high can this bull market actually go? 🔮
