Unfortunately, they quickly faltered just before crossing the level. But can the Fed meeting reignite the bull\u2019s momentum? Or will the &#8216;sell in May and go away&#8217; trend overwhelm the uptrend and reverse the gains?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s next for Bitcoin after the Fed rate decision?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout March, Bitcoin defended $65K as support. In April, it used the support as a springboard to eye $80K, thanks to its safe-haven status during the West Asia crisis, a series of short squeezes, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/understanding-bitcoins-april-rally-and-the-market-imbalance-at-the-heart-of-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strong ETF inflows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, so far in April, Spot BTC ETFs have attracted $2.3 billion, the highest monthly inflow since the October crash. This was nearly twice the demand seen in March ($1.3 billion), lifting BTC to a local high of $79.4K.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, even ETF investors de-risked ahead of the Fed rate decision. The products saw a daily outflow of $263 million on Monday, the 27th of April. In response, BTC reversed part of its gains and briefly slipped below $76K.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the WTI crude oil price also surged higher and briefly topped $100, further spooking markets across the board.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for Singapore-based crypto trading desk QCP Capital, BTC&#8217;s setup could still turn out positive, provided that the ETF flows keep up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the headline volatility. The broader setup remains constructive, but confirmation is still needed.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, the Bitcoin price momentum reinforced QCP analysts\u2019 outlook. The recent brief price rejection happened at a key confluence area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The $80K-$82K zone is a confluence of the True Market Mean, Short-Term Holder cost basis, and U.S. Spot ETF cost basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_593632\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-593632\" style=\"width: 736px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Q2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-593632\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Q2.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin \" width=\"736\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Q2.png 736w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-Q2-287x300.png 287w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-593632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Bitwise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going above the zone would effectively flip the market from distress to broad profitability.

First, the U.S.-Iran talks have not resolved into a peaceful deal, at least as of writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s term will end on the 15th of May.
