Bitcoin (BTC) is holding just above $77K after a steady recovery from sub-$76K levels, as markets remain cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve decision. The price action shows BTC consolidating rather than breaking out, with resistance near $79K-$80K still firmly in place. Meanwhile, altcoins are mostly in the green, and Dogecoin (DOGE) is leading the current move.

BTC stabilizes below key resistance

Specifically, Bitcoin is trading around $77,000, up roughly 1% on the day, after grinding higher in a relatively controlled move. The chart shows a gradual climb from the mid-$75K range, followed by a push toward the high-$77K area before a slight pullback.

At the time of publication on April 29, the price of BTC stood at $77,142.18, up 1.3% in the last 24 hours, down 0.5% over the past seven days, and advancing 14.8% across the month, according to the most recent chart information.

Indeed, this structure points to consolidation rather than a breakout. Buyers are active on dips, but momentum is not strong enough yet to push BTC through the $79K–$80K resistance zone that has capped recent rallies.

With the Federal Reserve decision approaching, traders appear to be positioning rather than committing. That typically keeps volatility contained until a macro catalyst hits. A dovish surprise could open the door for another test of $80K, whereas any negative shift could send BTC back toward the $75K support area.

Dogecoin leads as altcoins turn green

At the same time, the broader market is leaning positive, and most major assets are posting gains alongside BTC’s stabilization. Ethereum (ETH) is back above $2,300 with a solid daily increase, and Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and Cardano (ADA) are all in the green.

Dogecoin stands out as the strongest performer, jumping more than 8% and clearly outperforming the rest of the large-cap market. That kind of move often signals short-term risk appetite returning, especially in meme coins.

Other gainers include Litecoin (LTC) and Avalanche (AVAX), both posting solid upside. On the flip side, XRP is slightly in the red, alongside Zcash (ZEC) and Stellar (XLM), showing that not all segments are participating equally in the bounce.

Overall, the market is recovering, but selectively. Bitcoin is stable, altcoins are mostly green, and momentum is building, yet the lack of a BTC breakout suggests traders are still waiting for confirmation before pushing prices significantly higher.
