The price of the leading cryptocurrency rose by 7% over the week amid inflows into ETFs<\/span><\/a>. The market’s future direction hinges on breaking the historical range of $73,750-$74,400, according to CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years, this price corridor has repeatedly reversed trends. The expert cited three examples:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First quarter of 2024.<\/strong> The rally following the launch of American spot ETFs halted at $73,750, after which prices gradually declined to $50,000.<\/li>\n
  2. April of last year.<\/strong> The specified range halted Bitcoin’s fall from the $100,000 level\u2014selling ceased around $74,400. The asset then reversed and in October reached a new high above $126,000<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Beginning of this year.<\/strong> Investors expected support from the zone, but digital gold broke through this level and fell to $60,000<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Currently, the $73,750-$74,400 marks again serve as the main resistance. A confident breakthrough upwards will confirm buyers’ strength and the start of a new bull rally. Failure will indicate that the global downtrend since the October highs remains in force.<\/p>\n

    Reasons for Bitcoin’s Return to $73,000<\/h2>\n

    According to analysts at XWIN Research Japan, the main drivers of the leading cryptocurrency’s growth were inflows into American spot ETFs and the mass closure of short positions.<\/p>\n

    At the end of February, amid geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin’s rate sharply declined. However, by March 2, the asset recovered<\/a> to $70,000, and by March 5, it tested<\/a> the $74,000 mark.<\/p>\n

    The resumption of capital inflows into exchange-traded funds played a key role in the rebound. On March 4 alone, Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $200 million, directly indicating a return of institutional demand.<\/p>\n

    The derivatives market provided an additional boost to the rally. Analysts recorded a sharp increase in open interest. Funding rates turned negative, indicating an excess of short positions. Further price growth triggered a cascade of liquidations and a short squeeze<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    On-chain metrics present a mixed picture:<\/p>\n
