Valentin Fournier, chief research analyst at BRN, believes that defensive measures are necessary given the accumulation of bearish signals in the crypto market, including declining ETF inflows, weakening market momentum, and a surge in the number of crypto IPOs, indicating that profit-taking will occur in the near future. "Despite strong macro data and easing inflation, the crypto market has failed to react, with the surge in IPO activity suggesting a valuation bubble and insiders' willingness to exit at a time of high prices," Fournier said. Coupled with reduced ETF inflows and falling prices, we see this as a sign of market weakness and running out of fuel. We are de-risking and moving to a more defensive stance as we expect the market to gradually decline and long-term investors to re-enter. ”

After Trump announced the most severe tariffs in history, S&P 500 futures fell more than 2%, with a market capitalization evaporating by $2 trillion. Bitcoin rose to $88,000 before the tariff news, then quickly fell back to $82,000 after the announcement. The chief analyst at BRN believes that Trump's tariffs will create turbulence in the financial markets, but clearer trade policies provide buying opportunities, reducing uncertainty. Bitcoin is likely to see institutional purchases and may attempt $90,000 again.

The inflow of funds into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has slowed down, but market trading remains active, with a divergence in net fund inflows. Although ETF inflows have temporarily decreased, the sustained high trading volume indicates that market participation remains strong and interest has not weakened.

The GDP of the United States in the first quarter of 2025 showed a negative growth, which may affect the dovish stance of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, supporting Bitcoin. Bitcoin rose by 13%, outperforming the S&P 500 index, with demand driving the price rise.

The year-on-year increase in the CPI for March in the U.S. has dropped to 2.1%, marking the largest fall since 2020, which may lead to a shift in The Federal Reserve (FED) monetary policy. Although Bitcoin has stabilized above $80,000, ETF funds continue to experience a net outflow, indicating a weakening bullish momentum in the market. The debt market alarm has been sounded, with the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds reaching a new high for 2022. The market is not optimistic about pausing the tariff increases, and funds may shift towards digital assets. The SEC chairman's policies could influence market direction, and the crypto market may gain confidence due to changes in the regulatory framework.

The decline in US CPI data has led to a calm in the crypto market. Analyst Valentin Fournier believes that The Federal Reserve (FED) may cut interest rates, which could benefit crypto assets. However, other experts point out that the trade war and tariffs have limited impact on FED decisions, and there are still pressures in the global system. Due to turbulence in TradFi, the long-term trend for crypto assets may still experience a fall.

The crypto assets market experienced a dumping on April 8, mainly influenced by global macro factors rather than internal market issues. Investors fled risk assets in favor of safer assets. Despite the market downturn, analysts believe there may be a rebound opportunity in the short term, potentially occurring after the release of economic data.

After experiencing a large outflow of funds for two weeks, BTCETF recorded a capital inflow of 94 million US dollars. Analysts believe that investors consider BTC to be undervalued and are beginning to re-enter the market. It is expected that new demand and positive momentum will drive BTC to new highs, especially when the presidential working group implements the encryption reserve plan.

Golden Finance reported that analysts said that profit-taking and a large amount of dumping have hindered the BTC price pump. BRN analyst Valentin Fournier emphasized that BTC breaking through $100,000 faces major obstacles. He believes that the market catalyst is strong and investor confidence is continuously increasing, but BTC is still struggling to break through the psychological barrier of $100,000. The phenomenon of profit-taking is obvious and more than 4,000 BTC (worth about $3.84 million) must be cleared.

BRN analyst Valentin Fournier said that the slowing inflow of BTC indicates strong institutional support, but if capital does not re-enter the market in the next few days, momentum may further weaken. BTC may consolidate at current levels and then make another upward push, entering a less volatile calm phase, but the medium-term bullish momentum remains optimistic.

BlockBeats news, on September 2nd, BRN analyst Valentin Fournier stated that "technical indicators indicate that the downward momentum may continue. The MACD shows increasingly negative momentum, while the RSI is at a neutral level. The lower band of the Bollinger Bands is still around $56,000, indicating that the BTC price may further decline to this level." (CoinDesk)

Odaily Planet Daily BRN analyst Valentin Fournier said that BTC ETF has been pumping for seven consecutive days, while the Ethereum ETF has lagged behind. Valentin Fournier explained:"This indicates a lack of institutional investor interest in the Ethereum ETF, partly due to the lack of opportunity cost for re-staking, and it is recommended to allocate more funds to BTC, as Ethereum is expected to continue to lag behind."

According to BRN analyst Valentin Fournier, BTC's volatility may rise in the coming days or weeks as the market awaits the announcement from the Federal Reserve at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the release of macroeconomic indicators. The increase in BTC futures contracts may be related to investors' expectations for the Fed policy meeting. If the announcement is positive for the market sentiment, the price will pump to $65,000 and $67,000, but this still depends on the Fed policy meeting decision.

The price of BTC has dropped by about 3% in the past 24 hours, with a trading price of around $58,500. Analysts predict that further news from the Federal Reserve Board at the upcoming Jackson Hole meeting may intensify the Fluctuation in BTC price.

Odaily Planet Daily News BRN Chief Analyst Valentin Fournier said that BTC miners seem to be directly purchasing BTC from the market to increase reserves. These miners may have initiated a new accumulation phase. These actions have triggered the Hash Ribbon signal, which is a long-term bullish indicator, highlighting the end of Miner Capitulation.

Trump's announcement of large-scale tariffs may lead to increased fluctuations in the crypto market, posing downside risks. Caution is advised to reduce digital asset risks. 21Shares strategists believe that BTC's key support is between $80,000 and $81,000, and if it fails to hold, it may test the low point of $76,500. However, BTC is expected to consolidate in the range of $81,000 to $85,000 while awaiting clarity on the impact of tariffs.

The rise of BTC has paused, possibly due to profit-taking by large investors, leading to a short-term pullback, but future technical indicators may indicate a price reversal. Despite the potential for upward movement being greater than short-term downside risks, the released CPI data may cause market Fluctuation.

Odaily Planet Daily News The dominance of BTC is an indicator of the share of digital assets in the entire Cryptocurrency Market Cap. This indicator has been rising, rising to 54.8%, while the dominance of Ethereum has fallen to 11.3%, indicating that BTC still performs relatively strongly in the current market turmoil. BRN analyst Valentin Fournier said that BTC ETF is expected to

Odaily Planet Daily News BRN Chief Analyst Valentin Fournier said that the total inflow of 11 billion US dollars in ETF reflects the recovery of institutional confidence, and the inflow of this fund helped BTC break through 100,000 US dollars, reaching a peak of 102,750 US dollars, and then stabilizing at 101,700 US dollars. In addition, MicroStrategy's acquisition of 100 million US dollars to purchase BTC further boosted market sentiment, although its acquisition speed has slowed to a more cautious level. However, Valentin Fournier said that despite the benefit of the inflow of funds, Ethereum is still stagnant, indicating that the bullish momentum is not enough to break through 4,000.
