On April 16, CoinDesk reported that Bitcoin is currently hovering around $75,000, facing supply pressure while institutional demand remains stable. Market sentiment has been boosted by news of an extended ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The dollar has fallen to its lowest level in nearly six weeks, with U.S. Treasury yields also declining, conditions that typically support cryptocurrency prices. Gold has risen in tandem, indicating that the market is seeking a balance between risk appetite and safe-haven demand. On-chain data shows that when prices reach a critical cost benchmark for short-term holders, Bitcoin often experiences increased supply, with this level around $76,800 potentially forming significant resistance, at which point investors may choose to take profits. The newly established MSBT fund under Morgan Stanley has quickly attracted over $100 million in inflows due to the market's lowest fee rates, prompting competitors like Goldman Sachs to initiate a new round of competition. Meanwhile, U.S. sanctions on Iranian ports and threats from Iran to disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf continue to cast a shadow over the global economic outlook. The impact of energy supply shocks has begun to raise inflation expectations, which may influence central bank policy directions and, in turn, affect the cryptocurrency market.
