$BTC at $77,300, are you getting in or standing on the sidelines?

This morning it just surged to $77,467, now steady around $77,300, up 1.66% in 24 hours. Starting from $67k in April, it jumped 15% in one go, a strong start for May. But don’t rush to call a bull run—Bitcoin’s 2026 conference is happening in Las Vegas, Arthur Hayes is shouting about $145k by the end of the year, the Secretary of Defense says they want to establish a “Bitcoin strategic advantage,” and ETF net inflows have reached $23.5 million—so many good news stories it’s hard to keep up.

But when you open your account, why does it feel like you’re still not making much money?

First, look at the surface: good news everywhere, price moving slowly like a bull.*

Up 1.66% in the past 24 hours, sounds okay? But do you know that over the past month, it’s been climbing slowly from $67,900, with how many fluctuations in between? Early trading opened low and moved higher, breaking through $76,500, now stuck at $77,300. MACD histogram narrows, RSI at 53, neutral leaning bullish—technicals tell you: it can go higher, but don’t expect to eat it all at once.

First thing: institutions are really buying.

In April, net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs ranged from $67k to $2.4 billion, with total AUM back to $102 billion. BlackRock and Fidelity are the main players, just turned positive on April 30 with $23.5 million. A Canadian pension fund has already heavily invested in Bitcoin-related positions.

Second thing: the road to regulation is being paved.

U.S. Secretary of Defense personally called for achieving “strategic advantage” in Bitcoin. The crypto market structure bill is moving forward. Previously, Americans viewed Bitcoin as an enemy; now they want to be allies.

Third thing: the halving bullets are not all fired yet.

It’s been nearly 2 years since the halving, with new issuance only 164k coins per year. ETFs already hold over 1 million coins. Who’s selling? Miners—Riot Platforms just deposited 500 coins into NYDIG. But who’s buying? Institutions.

On one side: institutional entry, policy support, halving supply mismatch.

On the other: inflation rebound, Fed holding steady, miners continuing to sell.

Key level: $75,000, the bottom line for bulls.

Short-term traders: hold steady above $78,000, chase longs, target $82,000 (200-day moving average), stop-loss at $75,800.

Long-term players: buy in stages below $75,000, add more if it drops to $72,000. Delphi Digital’s data shows—since 2016, all 5-year holding periods have yielded median returns over 8 times.

At this position, the biggest risk isn’t a drop, but that you’re afraid of missing out when it rises, and afraid of zero when it falls—caught in a dilemma, ending up getting hit from both sides.

BTC’s price movement has never been smooth sailing; it’s always been oscillating while you get in.

What can turn you around this time isn’t how many tops and bottoms you guessed right, but whether you dare to hold at key levels—whether you dare to buy, and whether you can hold on. #美国寻求战略比特币储备 $BTC
