Despite the mild pullback, the broader bullish structure remains intact, underpinned by steady institutional demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as BTC approaches the critical $80,000 resistance zone, rising geopolitical uncertainty tied to US-Iran tensions and the Strait of Hormuz is tempering near-term risk appetite.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Institutional demand remains a key factor<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Institutional flows continue to provide strong support for Bitcoin\u2019s upward trajectory. According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $823.7 million in net inflows last week, following $996.38 million the week prior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This marks four straight weeks of positive inflows, reinforcing sustained institutional interest. If the trend persists or accelerates, it could fuel another leg higher for BTC in the near term.<\/span><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While fundamentals remain supportive, macro uncertainty is capping momentum. Reports suggest Iran has submitted a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend the current ceasefire, aiming to move toward a longer-term resolution. However, the outcome remains uncertain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US President Donald Trump reportedly dismissed the proposal as insufficient, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected negotiations under pressure. This backdrop has dampened risk sentiment, prompting a pause in Bitcoin\u2019s recent rally.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin price outlook: Bullish bias intact despite resistance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BTC\/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient. Technically, Bitcoin maintains a constructive outlook despite facing rejection near $80,000. Last week\u2019s 6% gain pushed BTC above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $78,490, a key resistance zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sustained move higher could see BTC retest $80,000, with further upside targeting the 200-week EMA at $82,488.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Momentum indicators support the bullish case. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI sits at 54, above the neutral territory, signaling weakening bearish pressure. Meanwhile, the MACD shows a bullish crossover from mid-April, with a rising histogram reinforcing upside potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the upside, immediate resistance lies at $78,962 (50% retracement), followed by the psychological $80,000 level. A breakout above this zone could open the door toward $83,437 (61.8% retracement) and $84,410.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-364395\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BTCUSD_2026-04-27_11-58-52.png\" alt=\"BTC\/USD 4H Chart\" width=\"1793\" height=\"836\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the bears regain control, initial support sits near $75,680, followed closely by the 100-day EMA at $75,619 and the 38.2% retracement at $74,487.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A deeper pullback could test the 50-day EMA at $73,363, with further support at $68,950 and the lower channel boundary near $63,033, ahead of the major structural floor at $60,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,Bitcoin Price#Bitcoins #rally #stalls #80k #Check #forecast1777294192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR BTC briefly touched the $79k level during the late hours of Sunday.
