The market has recorded a nine-day inflow streak totaling $2.12 billion, showing renewed institutional conviction. Meanwhile, easing geopolitical tensions, along with an extension of the ceasefire, have added to the optimism among investors, said Akshat Siddhant, Lead quant analyst, Mudrex.

Siddhant further said that if the momentum continues, this month could become Bitcoin’s best April since 2020, the immediate catalyst for a directional move will be the Fed's remarks after the FOMC meeting and a dovish commentary could help break the psychological barrier at the $80,000 mark.

The global crypto market capitalisation went up 2% to $2.64 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap.

The BTC price is at an important liquidity cluster at $79,000, a move through this level could trigger short squeeze, opening the path toward $80,000 for the first time since January, said CoinDCX Research Team.

In the past week, Bitcoin and Ethereum were up 5% and 2.5% respectively. Among the major altcoins, XRP, BNB, Solana, Dogecoin, Hyperliquid, and Cardano gained up to 5% whereas Tron slipped 2.5%.

Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus said in the immediate trading band, support sits near $77,300-$78,000 and the first resistance zone is $79,400-$80,000 and a decisive move above $80,000 is needed to confirm that this is more than a relief rally.

The rally has a stronger institutional base than earlier April moves, Subburaj further said.

Market perspective

Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst, Delta Exchange

Crypto markets are showing a measured recovery rather than outright euphoria. Bitcoin is consolidating near the $78,000 mark after a strong rebound, forming a continuation structure just below key resistance around $80,000, while Ethereum holds above $2,300 but continues to lag in relative strength.

Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has been trading at $79,102 and is in a healthy uptrend, currently cooling off ahead of its next move. As long as the price holds above key moving averages, dips are likely to be bought, and the broader structure remains constructive.

An early push higher lost strength, and prices later pulled back from near the highs, showing buyers are active but not strong enough yet to break resistance around $78.5K. On the other side, Bitcoin ETFs have seen steady inflows for nine straight days, adding over $2.1B, which reflects continued institutional interest.
