The Catalyst: The cooling U.S. inflation data (2.4%) has indeed been the "secret sauce" for this rally. It’s easing the macro pressure and fueling hopes that the Federal Reserve might pivot to rate cuts as early as April. The Support: That $60k floor wasn't just a number; it was a "diamond-hand" battleground. Seeing it hold suggests that the mid-cycle correction might be behind us. Institutional Shift: While retail was in "Extreme Fear" (the index hit a chilling 8/100 earlier this week!), institutional wallets—the "smart money"—were quietly accumulating. The ETF Factor: Spot ETFs continue to act as a massive bridge, funneling traditional capital into the ecosystem even during the volatility. 📈 Technical Outlook You’re spot on with the consolidation thesis. After a vertical move back to $70,000, the RSI on the daily charts is finally cooling off. A few days of sideways action between $68,500 and $71,000 would build the necessary base to punch through the $75,000 all-time high resistance. A Note on the Sentiment Gap: It's fascinating to see the market cap sitting at $1.4 trillion while the Fear & Greed Index is so low. Usually, that disconnect is where the most explosive "disbelief" rallies are born. What’s my move? I’m leaning toward B) Wait for a $68k retest. 🧐 Flipping previous resistance into support is the healthiest way to confirm the "King" is truly back for a long stay.
