【Post-market Summary and Analysis】
Overall, during the May Day holiday, Bitcoin experienced a clearly structured oscillating upward trend. Before the holiday, the market fully consolidated between 75k and 78k, with sufficient chip turnover, laying the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs. After entering the holiday, price fluctuations gradually narrowed, but the operating center continued to rise, reflecting ongoing capital inflows in a low-volatility environment, showing typical trend continuation characteristics.
From the rhythm of operation, the first half was mainly sideways digestion, with cautious market sentiment; in the second half, as key resistance levels were gradually weakened, bulls began to exert effort, and on May 5, effectively broke through the 80k integer mark, driving the short-term trend acceleration. It is worth noting that this round of rally was not accompanied by obvious overheat sentiment or abnormal volume, indicating that the market was driven more by structural buying rather than short-term speculative funds.
Judging from the nature, this upward movement belongs to a mid-term continuation within an uptrend, not a trend reversal starting point. The 80k level has shifted from previous resistance to a key support. If the market can effectively hold above it later, there is still room for further upward movement; but considering that the momentum has been somewhat released after continuous rises, short-term caution is needed for rhythm-based pullbacks and increased high-level oscillations. Overall, the trend remains bullish, but trading difficulty is increasing.
