As the cryptocurrency market keenly anticipates the upcoming Bitcoin halving, the world’s leading digital currency, Bitcoin (BTC), has seen a notable surge, breaking past the $72,000 mark again on April 8. The move comes amid a mix of outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and a steady hold of the BTC price above the $71,000 mark.

Bitcoin’s trading session today was marked by a modest rise, with its price moving incrementally upwards to a daily high of $72,715.36. Despite falling shy of the $73,000 record, momentum is picking up as the market gears up for the US CPI data and the halving event, both crucial factors are likely to swing the BTC value.

Market sentiment is bolstered by the halving, which will cut the new Bitcoin supply rate in half, potentially tightening the token’s future availability and driving up its price. This scarcity narrative is a cornerstone of bullish speculation within the cryptomarkets, but it puts pressure on smaller miners by reducing their rewards.

BTC’s price fluctuations have had a ripple effect on other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum (ETH) climbed 7.6% to $3,688.20, while XRP experienced a 4.3% increase. However, inflows into crypto investment products appear to be stabilizing, with digital assets seeing $646 million in inflows last week, down from the highs of early March. Bitcoin continues to lead the crypto narrative, bolstered by the SEC’s nod to spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The spotlight now turns to Ethereum, which is facing a potential SEC investigation, prompting outflows of $22.5 million. Ethereum’s fate depends on the SEC’s decision on spot Ethereum ETFs expected by the end of May.

Bitcoin’s ETF Outflows and Price Persistence

The Bitcoin ETF Sector experience $223 million in net outflows on April 8, a decline led primarily by the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF. Nevertheless, Bitcoin’s price remains resilient, supported by the optimism surrounding the halving event. Some predict a post-halving price spike at $80,000, which is needed to maintain mining profitability. Others, such as Arthur Hayes, warn of a possible drop during the halving.

At the moment, Bitcoin is trading at $70,666.50, up 2.35%, with the potential to start a rally towards $85,000 as indicated by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, provided it maintains current levels.

Bitcoin’s market is in a state of consolidation, oscillating between $65,000 and $71,000, indicating a phase of stabilization. Both STHs and LTHs are seen capitalizing on recent gains and offloading portions of their holdings as the halving approaches. Today, Bitcoin’s price is $70,796.26, reflecting a 1.48% increase in 24 hours.

BTC Forms Critical Pivot Around $70K: Technical Analysis Update

Bitcoin (BTC) hovered above the critical $70,000 threshold, showing a sharp tug-of-war between bulls and bears in the recent 2-hour trading windows. The BTC/USD pair has been oscillating around this significant psychological level, with the current price remaining at $70,666.5.

Bitcoin presents a struggle to maintain its foothold above the $70k mark. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), located at 54.02, leans towards a neutral stance, neither overbought nor oversold, reflecting a market in balance but with potential for directional movement. The MACD, with its histogram at 741.4 above the signal line, suggests that the bullish momentum, while easing, continues to provide support for the current price level.

The price of Bitcoin fell back slightly, after a rally that briefly touched the $70,624.3 area. This pullback finds its support in the $69,880 region, where a consolidation of price has formed, indicating a battleground for market control. Resistance, as delineated by recent peaks, stands firmly around the $70,200 zone, where Bitcoin has faced selling that appears to further upside.

Market sentiment, as depicted by price action and technical indicators, indicates cautious optimism. The current trading pattern within the Fibonacci retracement levels highlights significant support near the 0.618 level at around $69,700, which could act as a springboard for bulls seeking to push higher. Conversely, should this level not hold, the next area of ​​significant support lies near the 0.5 Fibonacci level, near $69,000, which could dampen any further declines and provide a rebound opportunity.

Traders and investors are keeping a watchful eye on these technical nuances, with the next significant move expected to be influenced by external market stimuli or a shift in trader sentiment. If the bulls manage to push Bitcoin past the immediate resistance, a retest of the upper $70,000s could be on the cards. Conversely, a break below current support levels could see a short-term correction before any possible resumption of the uptrend.
