1. BTC Strongly Rises in April (But with Warnings)
Bitcoin increased about +12% during April → best performance in 1 year
MarketWatch
But:
Trading volume dropped drastically
Retail investors started to pull away
👉 Meaning:
Price went up, but the market's “strength” isn't there yet (risk of a fake rally)
💸 2. ETFs & Institutions Become the Main Drivers
Approximately $2 billion inflow into ETFs in 1 month
The Economic Times
Large companies like Strategy buy billions of dollars worth of BTC
The Economic Times
👉 Insight:
The market is now driven by institutions, not retail
This usually:
Bullish in the medium term
But movements are more “slow & structured”
⚠️ 3. Resistance $80K Still Strong
BTC briefly rose to over $79K but failed to break through $80K
Barron's
Now stuck around $76K–$77K
Fortune
👉 This becomes the most important level this month:
$80K = the big wall of the market
