Bitcoin's $75,200 Resistance Level Now Determines the Path to $80,000

A daily close above $75,200 would trigger a cascade of liquidations for Bitcoin short-sellers, opening a path toward $80,000 to $84,000. This potential short squeeze is fueled by 46 consecutive days of negative funding rates, signaling a buildup of bearish positions. The price recently tested this resistance level on Thursday, briefly rising to $76,000 before retreating to $73,900. On the downside, a breach of $73,500 may see the asset retest the $71,000 level.

Institutional support remains anchored by spot Bitcoin ETFs, which added $411 million in assets on Tuesday alone. Total net assets in these funds now exceed $96 billion, with a monthly increase of over $741 million. Bitcoin's price has moved from a February low of 60,000 to 74,000, holding steady above the key resistance level at 74,000 as the recent recovery lost momentum.
