Fixygen’s Weekly Cryptocurrency Market Review

24.04.2026    20:06

Last week, the cryptocurrency market maintained a moderately positive sentiment, although growth slowed toward the end of the period. According to market data as of April 24, Bitcoin was trading at around $77,800 on Friday, while Ethereum was trading at around $2,310.

The market saw its strongest movement in the middle of the week. According to Reuters, on April 22, Bitcoin rose to $78,866, gaining 4.13% for the day, while Ethereum climbed to $2,398, up 3.48% on the day. This occurred amid an improvement in global risk appetite and a general rise in stock markets.

However, momentum weakened in the second half of the week. On April 23, Reuters noted a pullback in cryptocurrencies amid rising oil prices, tensions in the Middle East, and more cautious investor sentiment: at that time, Bitcoin fell to $77,682, and Ethereum to $2,316. By April 24, the market had stabilized, but without a new strong upward surge.

Institutional money remained the key support factor for Bitcoin this week. According to industry publications, the inflow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs continued, and Strategy purchased an additional 34,164 BTC for approximately $2.54 billion, marking its largest purchase since late 2024. This reinforced the perception of Bitcoin as an asset that continues to be actively bought up by major players, even following the March-April recovery.

Another positive signal for the sector was the continued push by traditional financial firms toward the crypto market. Reuters previously reported that Charles Schwab plans to launch spot cryptocurrency trading, which the market interprets as another step toward the further institutionalization of digital assets.

Ultimately, the week ended on a somewhat bullish note for the crypto market, though without a full-fledged breakout. Bitcoin managed to hold near $78,000 and remained close to the week’s local highs, while Ethereum showed less resilience and retreated from the $2,400 range by the end of the period. If the external backdrop does not deteriorate, the market may continue its attempts to rise, though dependence on geopolitics and investors’ overall risk appetite remains high.
