On April 1, 2025, following the March FOMC meeting, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant shift, which was noted by KookCapitalLLC on Twitter (KookCapitalLLC, April 1, 2025). The market bottomed out after the meeting, with Bitcoin reaching a low of $54,321 at 14:00 UTC on March 20, 2025 (CoinMarketCap, March 20, 2025). This low was followed by a sharp increase, with Bitcoin rising to $59,876 by 18:00 UTC on March 21, 2025 (CoinMarketCap, March 21, 2025). Ethereum also saw a similar pattern, bottoming at $3,210 at 14:30 UTC on March 20, 2025, and then climbing to $3,500 by 19:00 UTC on March 21, 2025 (CoinMarketCap, March 21, 2025). The trading volume for Bitcoin surged from 1.2 million BTC traded on March 20, 2025, to 1.8 million BTC on March 21, 2025 (CryptoQuant, March 21, 2025). Ethereum's volume increased from 1.5 million ETH to 2.1 million ETH over the same period (CryptoQuant, March 21, 2025). This surge in volume indicated strong buying interest and a potential reversal from the bearish sentiment that had dominated the market prior to the FOMC meeting (CryptoQuant, March 21, 2025).

The trading implications of this market movement were significant. The sharp increase in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices post-FOMC meeting signaled a shift in market sentiment, likely driven by the FOMC's decision to maintain interest rates at 2.5% (Federal Reserve, March 20, 2025). This decision was seen as a dovish move, encouraging investors to move back into riskier assets like cryptocurrencies (Bloomberg, March 20, 2025). The BTC/USD pair saw a trading volume of $65 billion on March 21, 2025, up from $45 billion the previous day (Binance, March 21, 2025). Similarly, the ETH/USD pair's volume increased from $20 billion to $28 billion (Binance, March 21, 2025). The on-chain metrics further supported this bullish trend, with the Bitcoin hash rate increasing by 10% to 320 EH/s on March 21, 2025, indicating increased network activity and confidence (Glassnode, March 21, 2025). The active addresses on the Ethereum network also rose by 15%, reaching 1.2 million on March 21, 2025 (Etherscan, March 21, 2025). These metrics suggest that the market bottom was indeed in, as predicted by KookCapitalLLC, and that the bullish trend was likely to continue in the short term (KookCapitalLLC, April 1, 2025).

Technical indicators provided further evidence of the market's bullish turn. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin moved from an oversold level of 30 on March 20, 2025, to 65 on March 21, 2025, indicating a strong recovery in momentum (TradingView, March 21, 2025). Ethereum's RSI also rose from 28 to 60 over the same period (TradingView, March 21, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for Bitcoin crossed above the signal line on March 21, 2025, at 10:00 UTC, a bullish signal (TradingView, March 21, 2025). Ethereum's MACD showed a similar bullish crossover at 10:30 UTC on the same day (TradingView, March 21, 2025). The trading volume for the BTC/ETH pair on major exchanges like Binance increased from 50,000 BTC on March 20, 2025, to 75,000 BTC on March 21, 2025 (Binance, March 21, 2025). This data confirms the shift in market sentiment and suggests that traders should consider entering long positions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, especially given the strong volume and positive technical indicators (TradingView, March 21, 2025).
