Umesh Sharma, CIO- Debt, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund on FED Announcement
“The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) delivered a widely expected hawkish pause, keeping the policy rate unchanged while reinforcing its inflation‑first stance. A notable shift in the statement language underscored that inflation is now described as “elevated,” replacing earlier references to it being “modestly high.” This change signals the Committee’s concern that disinflation progress has stalled and that upside risks remain, from various factors including but not limited to energy prices. The Fed reiterated that policy is “well positioned” and emphasized a data‑dependent approach, pushing back against near‑term expectations of rate cuts.
The meeting also stood out for an unusually high number of dissents, the largest since the early 1990s, highlighting growing internal differences over the appropriate policy path. While some members favoured easing to support a cooling labour market, the majority argued that premature cuts could jeopardize inflation credibility.
Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged heightened uncertainty but reaffirmed the Fed’s unwavering commitment to the 2% inflation target. Importantly, Powell confirmed that while he will step down as Chair at the end of his term, he intends to continue serving as a Fed Governor, reinforcing continuity amid leadership transition and ongoing institutional challenges. Powell staying on amidst increasing dissents will make it challenging for new governor Kevin Warsh.”

April’s Mumbai IGR numbers reflecting steady year-on-year growth
Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects, pvt,ltd.
“There were 13,538 sales in Mumbai during April, which was a continuous trend of 3–4% growth compared to the previous year. Despite the month-end rush impacting sales numbers, the bigger picture is that the market is stable and not volatile. The most significant change that is becoming apparent now is the behaviour of buyers- it is much more calculated, and there is a tendency to prefer projects with sustainable living qualities over projects with temporary value. This is particularly true in cases of large-scale projects like townships.”

Umesh Sharma, CIO- Debt, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) delivered a widely expected hawkish pause, keeping the policy rate unchanged while reinforcing its inflation‑first stance. A notable shift in the statement language underscored that inflation is now described as “elevated,” replacing earlier references to it being “modestly high.” This change signals the Committee’s concern that disinflation progress has stalled and that upside risks remain, from various factors including but not limited to energy prices. The Fed reiterated that policy is “well positioned” and emphasized a data‑dependent approach, pushing back against near‑term expectations of rate cuts.
The meeting also stood out for an unusually high number of dissents, the largest since the early 1990s, highlighting growing internal differences over the appropriate policy path. While some members favoured easing to support a cooling labour market, the majority argued that premature cuts could jeopardize inflation credibility.
Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged heightened uncertainty but reaffirmed the Fed’s unwavering commitment to the 2% inflation target. Importantly, Powell confirmed that while he will step down as Chair at the end of his term, he intends to continue serving as a Fed Governor, reinforcing continuity amid leadership transition and ongoing institutional challenges. Powell staying on amidst increasing dissents will make it challenging for new governor Kevin Warsh.

Market analysis by Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com
Bitcoin traded in a narrow range on April 30, reflecting continued indecision across global risk assets. BTC hovered around $75,500–$76,100, with intraday moves between $75,000 and $77,800. Volumes remained steady but lacked expansion, signalling limited conviction from both buyers and sellers.
From a technical perspective, immediate support lies in the $75,000–$75,600 range, a zone that has held through recent pullbacks. A break below this could weaken short-term structure. On the upside, Bitcoin is facing selling pressure around the $77,800–$78,000 zone, a level that has capped recent moves. Beyond that, $80,000 remains the key hurdle, with repeated rejections reinforcing it as a strong ceiling for any sustained rally.
On-chain data from Glassnode shows daily active addresses remaining above 600,000. This indicates consistent network activity despite price consolidation. Circulating supply is approaching 20 million BTC, reinforcing tight long-term supply conditions.
Institutional flows have softened. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of approximately $82.9 million on April 29. This extended the recent trend of uneven flows.This suggests institutional participation remains cautious in the near term.
Macro conditions continue to dominate. Markets are closely watching the Federal Reserve outlook. Expectations point to rates being held steady. Guidance on inflation and future rate cuts remains the key variable. Upcoming PCE inflation data, GDP updates, and major U.S. earnings are likely to influence liquidity and risk appetite.
Among leading altcoins, performance remained subdued. Ethereum traded near $2,260, XRP around $1.38, BNB near $619, and Solana close to $83, all reflecting mild weakness alongside Bitcoin.
Our advice: Bitcoin is holding above $75,000 support, but continues to face strong resistance near $78,000–$80,000, keeping the market range-bound. With ETF outflows of $82.9 million and macro uncertainty around the Federal Reserve outlook, conviction remains weak. Traders should avoid chasing moves near resistance and instead look to accumulate on dips toward support. Maintain disciplined position sizing, as upcoming inflation data and policy signals are likely to drive the next decisive move.

Review
Quote: Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42
“The Fed’s decision to hold rates steady has reinforced a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, which typically limits excess liquidity flowing into risk assets like crypto. In the immediate term, Bitcoin and Ethereum may see some downward pressure or continued consolidation as markets adjust to delayed rate cut expectations and a more cautious global stance. However, the magnitude of any dip is likely to be measured rather than sharp, with Bitcoin already oscillating in the $74,000 to $78,000 range and Ethereum in the $2,250 to $2,350 band, indicating that a significant part of the macro uncertainty is already priced in.
From here, the market will be driven more by signals around inflation and future Fed commentary than the hold decision itself. For investors, this is a phase to stay disciplined with staggered entries rather than reacting to short-term volatility. Focus on gradual allocation into Bitcoin and Ethereum, maintain a medium to long-term view, and avoid overexposure during intraday swings. Structurally, institutional participation and sustained adoption trends continue to provide support, suggesting that any softness in prices is more about timing of liquidity than a breakdown in the broader digital asset narrative.”
