Later in the session, BTC bounced back above $117,000, still 0.8% down through the day and trading at the lower end of its three-week tight range. Ether (ETH) slid as much as 3%, then recovered to $3,750, modestly lower (-0.6%) over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Altcoins posted steeper declines first, but quickly rebounded. Solana\u2019s SOL (SOL), Avalanche\u2019s AVAX (AVAX) and Hyperliquid\u2019s HYPE tokens were down 4%-5% before paring losses, while BONK and PENGU plunged 10% each before bouncing back.<\/p>\n

A check on the traditional market saw Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) posting strong quarterly earnings, lifting the stocks 10% and 6% higher, respectively, after regular trading hours.<\/p>\n

“Last week\u2019s PCE print marked the second soft reading in a row, and consumer spending is weakening,” he wrote. “With unemployment edging higher and real yields still restrictive, maintaining such tight policy risks overtightening into a broader slowdown.”<\/p>\n

The current setup is reminiscent of the last quarter of 2023, Mena said, with “softening inflation, rising political volatility, and a Fed constrained by lagging indicators.”<\/p>\n

He said “the stage is set” for the Fed to pivot to lower rates, which could drive BTC to $150,000 by year-end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
