Treasury General Account Replenishmenty will Cap Bitcoin's Rally

High-elasticity assets like Bitcoin will face suppression as the U.S. Treasury replenishes the Treasury General Account to over $1 trillion. This liquidity withdrawal from financial markets will cap further gains for the price of Bitcoin. The rally, which saw Bitcoin surge from $68,100 on April 1 to $75,600 on April 16, a gain of over 10%, was driven by a temporary de-escalation of the Iran conflict and a rebound in net market liquidity. On April 16, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $411 million in inflows, the second-largest daily inflow in April. On April 1 account for for the same period, on April 13, $9.53 million flowed into the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust (BITB) and $3,638,850 was deposited into the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB). On April 13, BTC-USD traded at $74,523.52 following a 22.34% drop in price over the preceding three months. The Coinbase premium indicator turned positive on April 8, and 25 delta skew improved, indicating reduced options-based selling pressure. Despite these indicators of rising U.S. investor demand, analysts caution that the rally occurs amid a structurally weak market. The odds of a move to $84,000 fell from 64% to 59% in the same day. The U.S. tax season through mid-to-late April may trigger portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking. If the $73,000–$75,000 range holds and downside risks remain contained, the next resistance level for Bitcoin is $79,000.
