Why Bitcoin is up 1.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 1.6% over the past 24 hours as it edged above $77,000 alongside continued attention on ETF-related activity, which likely supported near-term buying interest even as institutions appeared to be positioning with downside hedges. At the same time, some analysts cautioned that April’s rally was largely futures-driven and could be vulnerable to a pullback, suggesting the move higher may be occurring despite a more cautious derivatives backdrop.
