Bitcoin ( BTC /USD) has hit $99,411, just shy of the $100,000 mark after former US President Donald Trump posted on social media. He hinted at a big trade deal with the UK, which will be announced on May 8th. According to The New York Times, three sources confirmed the UK as the partner in the upcoming agreement, which could be a big shift in global trade. The Fed kept interest rates at 4.25%–4.50% despite Trump’s pressure for cuts to boost the economy. The Fed’s decision has created a good environment for alternative assets like Bitcoin which tends to do well in times of monetary uncertainty. Traders React to Political Catalysts Bitcoin’s move up is directly linked to Trump’s trade announcement, from $97,759 to $99,411 in less than 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. 1.7% up and now Bitcoin is close to the $100,000 mark, last tested in February 2025. Crypto analyst Charlie Sherry said “Markets move in the opposite direction of consensus. Everyone was bearish and now the sentiment has flipped”. Neil Jacobs, co-founder of FOMO21 said on X (formerly Twitter) that Bitcoin’s move up is “directly tied to Trump’s announcement”. Key Points: Technical Analysis – Key Resistance Ahead Bitcoin is testing the resistance zone at $99,919, which is a long term descending trendline. The break above the 50-day SMA at $95,793 has boosted the bullish sentiment but the RSI is close to 70, overbought. A clean break above $99,919 could take us to the next resistance at $100,893 and a new all-time high. But if this momentum fails to hold we could see a pullback to $98,746 or even $95,793 if selling intensifies. Trade Setup: This is a breakout trade while managing risk if BTC doesn’t clear the resistance, good for short-term traders.
