<a href="https://coin-turk.com/sec-yaptirimlari-kripto-yatirimcilarini-engelleyemedi-bu-metrik-yukseliste" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> price recovered on May 2nd following the United States Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates steady and investors reducing their hopes for rate cuts in 2024. On May 1st, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes revealed that the Fed expects interest rates to remain at 5.25-5.50% and added that it would need more confidence that inflation is sustainably moving towards 2% before considering rate cuts.

The Fed also announced plans to reduce the pace of its balance sheet reduction, known as quantitative tightening (QT), from $60 billion per month to just $25 billion per month, sharing the following statement:
<blockquote>
 “Starting in June, the Committee will reduce the monthly redemption cap for Treasury securities from $60 billion to $25 billion, thereby slowing the pace of asset reductions.”

However, it appears that the FOMC decision has increased risk appetite and asset prices. <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-whales-emerge-surge-in-large-transactions/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>‘s price began to recover minutes after the news, rising over 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $59,077 at the time of the report. Bitcoin’s price reached up to $59,482 on May 2nd, leading market participants to wonder if the downward trend had ended.

The recent price drop saw Bitcoin reaching its lowest level in two months, with a 6.7% decrease from the price at the time of the halving event. Popular investor and analyst Rekt Capital recently commented on Bitcoin’s price movement, noting that the cryptocurrency is following a similar trend to after the 2016 Bitcoin halving:
<blockquote>
 “Bitcoin recently deviated below the current Reaccumulation Range Low, repeating its 2016 history in this cycle once again.”
</blockquote>

A closer look at blockchain data provides significant insights into Bitcoin’s recovery after falling to $57,000. An important metric to consider is the Short-Term Holders Market Value to Realized Value (STH MVRV) ratio, which is currently at -6% according to Santiment.
This ratio essentially compares the current trading price of Bitcoin to the average price at which cryptocurrencies were last moved. According to the data analytics firm, when the MVRV ratio is in a negative range, markets recover most effectively.

Another data point indicating the potential for a short-term market recovery is the number of transactions moving at a loss compared to those moving at a profit. The following chart prepared by Santiment shows that the ratio of Bitcoin being moved at a loss is higher than that of profitable transactions:
<blockquote>
 “This is usually well-correlated with bottoms because it is a significant sign of capitulation by the crowd.”
