Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today

Analysis

Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as sentiment improved around a potential breakout, with K33 highlighting that a prolonged negative funding streak has historically coincided with bottoming regimes and higher breakout odds. At the same time, the move came despite signs of increasing profit-taking: Cointelegraph reported traders cashing out roughly 63K BTC in profits as price pushed above $76K, and The Block cited CryptoQuant data showing exchange inflows jumpingβ€”often a precursor to selling pressure.
