Bitcoin has risen by around 13% throughout April and has the potential to be its best performer in a year.

The calm period at the $78,000 threshold, is it institutions playing "The Empty City Strategy"?
📊 Today's key data:
• BTC current price: ~$77,650 (narrow-range consolidation with decreasing volume at high levels)
• Market sentiment: Slight decline in confidence due to recent Middle East tensions and US macro policy uncertainties.
• On-chain indicators: Exchange BTC balances remain near three-year lows, although prices are volatile, no large-scale fund outflows have occurred.
🔍 Today's in-depth analysis:
1️⃣ The "shakeout" logic before a breakout
BTC is testing the critical resistance at $78,000. As I mentioned before, the current rally is no longer purely driven by high leverage but has shifted to **"spot premium-driven"**. The recent volume-constrained pullback appears to be the main players confirming support, clearing short-term chasing traders piled around 77,000.
2️⃣ Macro-level "risk game"
Although market expectations for rate cuts fluctuate, the CLARITY bill in the Senate has entered a heated battle. Once the regulatory bill makes substantial progress, it will be the ultimate positive for BTC breaking through the 80k mark. The current sideways movement is essentially waiting for the final implementation of "policy shoes".
3️⃣ Turnover remains the only main theme
Glassnode data shows that although short-term momentum has slightly slowed, long-term holders' positions remain solid. The current market is extremely healthy—there are buyers at high levels and support at low levels. This "turnover-style" rally may be slow, but each step is solidly taken.
📉 Trading strategy suggestions:
• Support levels: first support at 76,500, strong support at 74,200.
• Resistance levels: strong resistance at 78,800, breaking this would open the door to $80,000.
• Operational ideas:
• Spot: continue to "play dead". Under the current supply shock logic, any chips lost due to fear may need a 20% premium to buy back in the future.
• Futures: weekend volume contraction, volatility will narrow, recommend reducing frequent operations, focus on the consolidation opportunity around 76,000.
