Market Overview

Bitcoin (BTC) has a support level at $67,222, and recent trading sessions have shown minor fluctuations between $67,000 and $69,000, suggesting potential adjustments if it falls below this threshold.

The altcoin market, including DOG, ELON, and NOT, is experiencing a bullish trend, particularly with new tokens listed on Binance and memecoins drawing considerable attention.

Keep a close watch on the US PCE inflation data set to be released on May 31st. If the inflation data is above expectations, the short-term price of BTC might be under falling pressure. Traders primary strategy is to maintain observation without chasing the highs.
