When Powell was first appointed, the crypto shed 73.56% of its value. \nAt Jerome Powell’s second term confirmation in 2022, Bitcoin fell 60.72%.\nPowell held his final FOMC meeting as Fed Chairman Thursday. Warsh inherits 3.50% rates and just one rate cut projected for the rest of 2026, setting up a potentially challenging environment for risk assets.\nWith Bitcoin currently trading around $77,367, analysts are watching whether the pattern repeats or breaks. History suggests another major selloff could be on the horizon during leadership transitions.\nU.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $14.76 million net inflow on April 30, but the week ending April 30 saw a sharp $475.87 million outflow. \nThis marks a significant reversal after three consecutive strong inflow weeks totaling nearly $2.6 billion from April 10 to 24.\nBitcoin reclaimed the critical $78,000 horizontal resistance with a 3% surge. \nPrice is compressing within an ascending wedge structure on the daily, with the upper trendline acting as immediate resistance near $80,000 to $82,000.\nEMAs remain bearishly stacked with the 200 EMA at $82,196 acting as overhead supply. However, the Parabolic SAR at $74,702 flipped beneath price, signaling short-term bullish momentum.\nSupport sits at $75,600 to $76,000, then $74,702 (Parabolic SAR). \nResistance clusters at $80,000 to $82,000, then $82,196 (200 EMA).\nPrice needs to hold $76,000 and reclaim $80,000 convincingly before institutional money rotates back aggressively. \nA confirmed break above $82,000 would signal trend reversal and break the Fed chair transition selloff pattern.\nImage: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.1","shortVersion":"4.42.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2632641615","isCrawlerRequest":true}
