Bitcoin experienced a significant rally, surpassing $73,000 and achieving a 9% weekly gain, despite a higher-than-expected 3.3% US CPI inflation reading in March. The surge was fueled by easing geopolitical tensions following the US-Iran ceasefire, alongside increased buying conviction evidenced by rising trading volumes. Technical analysis reveals Bitcoin broke a bearish pennant formation, targeting a potential move to $87,000, with key resistance levels around $75,400 and $80,000. On-chain data suggests whales are accumulating Bitcoin, shifting supply from weaker hands to stronger ones, reinforcing the bullish outlook. However, analysts caution about potential distribution pressure near the $78,000-$80,000 range. Regulatory clarity is also a key focus, with Senator Lummis urging swift passage of the Clarity Act to avoid a prolonged regulatory freeze. Fundstrat predicts a price between $200,000 and $250,000 for this cycle. Despite remaining in 'Extreme Fear' according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, market sentiment is tilting bullish.
