Bitcoin’s had a pretty active week — here’s what’s changed lately:
Price action • Current price: $77,435.17, up 3.25% today (+$2,435.16) • 2-month high: Hit $77,908 in recent trading, with $78,015.52 touched today • Breakout levels: Broke above key resistance at $75,200 and is now consolidating around $73,400–$78,000 • Next watch: Technical analysts eye $80K and $98K if momentum holds Why it’s moving 1. Strategy’s buying spree: Michael Saylor’s company refilled its war chest to $58B and launched 11.5% preferred stock to buy more BTC. Trading volume in their STRC stock tripled this week, likely fueling the surge 2. Geopolitics: Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, easing oil/market fears. Several posts link the reopening to BTC hitting $77K–$78K 3. ETF inflows: Spot BTC ETFs saw $411M inflows in a single session Tuesday Market sentiment
Social posts today are mixed but leaning bullish:
• Bullish crowd: Lots of “to $84K next 🚀”, “$1 Million!”, and charts showing the breakout • Skeptics: Some warn about pump-and-dump, portfolio losses, or point to M2 money supply as the real driver • Meme vibe: Posts joking “Ah shit, he’s back again” as BTC reclaimed $73K, plus “POV: Your portfolio is down -44% but Bitcoin just hit $73,000” Other changes this week • iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT): $43.94, up 2.83% today • Funding rates: Negative for 46 straight days, which sets up potential short squeeze toward $80K • Wall Street moves: Morgan Stanley launching MSBT ETF with lowest fee; Charles Schwab adding direct BTC/ETH trading soon
