- *24h Range*: $76,243.04 - $79,500

### *What’s Driving Bitcoin Right Now*
1. *Institutional Demand Back*
U.S. spot Bitcoin products saw almost $520 million in net inflows on Wednesday - the largest daily inflow in ∼3.5 months. Big names like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Charles Schwab rolling out crypto products are "fortifying" gains.

2. *Best 5-Day Run Since 2023*
BTC is up 22% over the past 5 days, hitting an intraday high of $79,426. That’s the highest in over 3 months. Historically, after a 50%+ drop followed by a 12%+ 2-day rally, BTC saw "monumental upside" in 2019 and 2023.

3. *Macro + Short Squeeze*
- Treasury raising long-term bond buybacks to $4B pushed investors toward "hard money" assets like BTC and Gold.
- Over $1B in short positions were liquidated in 60 minutes as BTC jumped above $69,000. 654c517257c79f9d

### *Technical View*
- *Support*: ∼$74,300
- *Resistance*: ∼$79,000
- *Short-term*: Assessed as "technically positive"
- *1-week rating*: Sell signal, *1-month rating*: Buy signal 726c27a1

### *Key Risks*
Experts say it might cool off soon. Regulatory uncertainty around the Clarity Act is still an "important restraint". After falling 50% from the Oct 2025 high of $126,272, BTC still has "considerable runway" if the 2019/2023 pattern repeats. 5172fc4627a157c7

Here’s a quick chart of Bitcoin’s recent price action:

Here’s the recent price action showing BTC pushing toward the $79K resistance zone.

*Bottom Line*: Bitcoin is in a strong bounce with institutional money flowing back in, but $79K is the next big test. A break above that could open the door toward $80K+ again. 5172
