Bitcoin touches $60,000 ahead of a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, signaling market optimism amid falling reported inflation data.
Bitcoin traders are eyeing $68,000 if it can stay above $64,000, a level it has struggled to hold above for 20 days.
The Federal Reserve is expected to begin lowering its benchmark interest rate in September.
The bill received strong support in the General Assembly. Now, the state Senate will consider overturning the veto.
Amidst the recent decline in Bitcoin’s price and the general cryptocurrency market, popular cryptocurrency analyst and enthusiast Titan of Crypto has highlighted the $61,500 price level as a crucial threshold to watch for the largest cryptocurrency. Titan of Crypto analysis examines the aforementioned level as a pivotal point for Bitcoin that could determine the coin’s next price trajectory. $61,500, A Level To Watch For Bitcoin Today, May 14, BTC witnessed a sharp decline to nearly $61,500, demonstrating little momentum for a price recovery. While many would see this as a worrying development, Titan of Crypto considers it a noteworthy development. He sees this level as significant and is one to watch out for for Bitcoin. The crypto expert further warns of an impending volatility in the market around Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell‘s speech later today. Thus, Titan of Crypto has urged the community to remember that it’s better to hold off on making decisions until after the BTC daily candle closes and until the next one confirms the previous one. The post read: Bitcoin $61,500 is the level to watch. Expect volatility in the markets around today’s Powell speech. In any case, remember it’s wiser to wait for the BTC daily candle close and confirmation with the following one before jumping to a conclusion. Although the expert anticipates volatility for Bitcoin, he is confident that the crypto asset’s bull run is far from over, suggesting a movement on the upside is still possible. Related Reading: Why Bitcoins Post-Halving Rally Is Certain, Analyst Explains According to Titan of Crypto, Bitcoin’s Risk-Adjusted Return Oscillator (RAR) indicator has recently moved into the overbought area. However, the analyst asserts that this does not call for alarm, given that Bitcoin took over eight months to peak following the development based on previous bull cycles. Looking at Bitcoin’s price action from the daily timeframe, the expert confirms that the digital asset is “looking good.” As a result, BTC is following the bullish target to unprecedented heights, specifically around $112,185. “This game is a zero-sum game where impatient people give their money to the patient,” he added. Possible Retracement To $62,000 While Titan of Crypto anticipates a rally, Ali Martinez, another crypto, has predicted an early price retracement. The expert has highlighted the possibility for BTC to decline to $62,000 in the short term. According to the analyst, the 4-hour chart’s 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) appears to be rejecting Bitcoin, whereas the TD Sequential indicator suggests a sell signal. Should the development be confirmed, Martinez expects BTC to drop to $62,000.

Thus, with the coin trading below the $62,000 level, Martinez’s prediction appears to have already manifested. At the time of writing, the coin was trading at $61,512, indicating about 1.98% in the past day. Its trading volume was up by 9.67%, while its market cap was down by 2.65% in the last 24 hours.

Trump used his April 21 Truth Social forum to post that “Preemptive Cuts in Interest Rates are being called for by many.” The President contended rate cuts are warranted because “Energy Costs [are] way down, food prices [are] substantially lower, and most other ‘things’ [are] trending down,” asserting “there is virtually No Inflation.” Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell, calling him “Too late and wrong” for not cutting interest rates, which remain at 4.5%. Tensions rose after Powell warned that Trumps tariffs could cause stagflation, prompting the president to demand his removal, saying his “termination cannot come fast enough.” Dollar Weakens While Crypto Shows Strength As the political conflict rages on, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the greenback relative to other significant currencies, dipped below 98 on April 21, recording a three-year low. This follows a falling trend that has had the dollar drop over 10% of its value since the start of 2025, latest data shows. Bitcoin Unfazed Amid Political Turmoil In stark contrast to traditional markets, cryptocurrencies have maintained their weekend gains. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization, based on TradingView data, remained steady at $2.74 trillion. Bitcoin price, according to data from Coingecko, hit a four-week high of $88,428.

Bitcoin has entered a period of relative calm, with its price oscillating between $81,000 and $89,000 over the past several sessions. This newfound stability has reassured many traders, as the odds of a sharp decline below $80,000 have diminished significantly. Selling pressure is starting to ease, buyers are gradually stepping in, and the market appears to be in an accumulation phase, which is often a precursor to another rally. Even with selling pressure easing, there’s still a risk of breakdown below $80,000 at any moment. However, dormer BitMEX CEO and renowned crypto investor Arthur Hayes recently shared a bold projection that Bitcoin will reach $110,000 before retesting the $76,500 price level. Arthur Hayes Predicts $110,000 Will Come Before Any Pullback to $76,500 As it stands, Bitcoin is closer to $75,000 than it is to $110,000, but popular crypto commentator Arthur Hayes believes the leading cryptocurrency will reach the latter before the former. A climb to $110,000 will translate to a new all-time high for Bitcoin, as its current peak is $108,786, set in January. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Arthur Hayes Says Be Patient After Bitcoins 36% Crash, Reveals Possible Bottom At present, Bitcoin is trading about 20.3% below that high, and concerns about a deeper correction are valid. The possibility of a pullback to $76,500 is still a genuine concern, especially since that price sits just under this months local low, and it can be quickly retested before another bounce upwards. Hayes’ comments on social media platform X offered both a price target and a macroeconomic rationale. Hayes stated, I bet $BTC hits $110k before it retests $76.5k, clarifying that the momentum of the market and shifts in monetary policies are more likely to push the Bitcoin price up rather than another correction towards $76,500. He went further to suggest that once Bitcoin crosses $110,000, it may not look back until it starts approaching $250,000. This price target resonates with outlooks from other crypto analysts. Incoming Shifts In Monetary Policies Central to Hayes’ reasoning is the Federal Reserves changing stance on liquidity. He pointed out that the Fed is transitioning from quantitative tightening (QT) to a new phase of quantitative easing (QE), particularly in the Treasury markets. Although the Fed has been engaged in quantitative tightening (QT) since June 2022, there are now discussions about pausing or slowing down the balance sheet runoff. According to Reuters, some analysts predict a shift towards a more QE-like approach.

Hayes also dismissed concerns about inflation, stating that the Fed Chairman appears to view it as “transitory inflation.” At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $86,600, having traded at an intraday high of $88,713 in the past 24 hours.
