Key Notes Charlie Shrem has launched a Bitcoin faucet site called 21million.com. BTC is down 1.5% in the past 24 hours, with price hovering near key support zones. CME puts 97.2% odds on a Fed rate pause as traders expect bullish crypto sentiment ahead. Crypto pioneer Charlie Shrem has launched a modern-day tribute to one of the most iconic parts of Bitcoin history — the faucet. On May 4, Shrem shared his new project 21million.com, which visually replicates the original Bitcoin faucet created by Gavin Andresen in 2010. The original site gave away 19,700 BTC BTC $96 611 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $29.09 B , now worth over $1.86 billion, for simply solving CAPTCHA puzzles. Notably, Shrem’s faucet isn’t operational yet and currently displays “0 Bitcoin available to claim”. It aims to spread awareness around cryptocurrency and expand the community spirit that once defined Bitcoin adoption. Working on getting the bitcoin faucet going again at https://t.co/mHkgSR6H41 — Charlie Shrem (@CharlieShrem) May 4, 2025 The website comes with a CAPTCHA field and a Bitcoin address input box, offering users a nostalgic look back at a time when BTC was an experiment rather than a trillion-dollar asset class. Bullish Sentiment for Bitcoin Bitcoin is showing signs of consolidation after a strong April rally. At the time of writing, the largest cryptocurrency was trading around $94,597, down by 1.5% over the past 24 hours. Traders are keeping an eye on the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting scheduled for May 7. CME’s FedWatch Tool puts the odds at 97.2% for a rate hold in the 425-450 bps range. A gentle stance could revive bullish sentiment and potentially push Bitcoin past the highly anticipated $100,000 mark. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has weakened considerably, down nearly 11% in the last 100 days. Any further downside could serve as a tailwind for the cryptocurrency. Adding to the bullish case is strong institutional appetite. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have raked in over $4 billion in net flows since late March. MicroStrategy’s April haul of 25,370 BTC, worth $2.44 billion, further solidifies big-money confidence in Bitcoin. BTC Price Outlook On the daily BTC price chart, the RSI has cooled to 61, after briefly crossing the critical 70 mark — a level that historically precedes 40%–70% surges. This pullback may present an accumulation window for investors below six figures.

Traders could see support at $92,200 and $88,000, with a make-or-break floor at $85,400. #Bitcoin $BTC is testing support at $95,000. If this level breaks, a pullback toward $92,000 could be next. pic.twitter.com/8nVZSkDWj1 — Ali (@ali_charts) May 4, 2025 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has flagged a TD Sequential sell signal on the 3-day chart, warning that a failure to hold $95,000 may invite short-term downside.

This hints at a potential short-term retracement in the near future. next Disclaimer: Coinspeaker is committed to providing unbiased and transparent reporting.
