Bitcoin jumped to 78.105 dollars (+1.24%), lifting risky assets with earnings reports from U.S. tech giants. Apple's (AAPL) report reinforced optimism across the industry; competitors like Alphabet (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN) announced double-digit revenue growth. Markets recovered with confidence in the AI growth story, with the rise reflecting relief buying.

Why Did BTC Rise to 78,000 Dollars?

Crypto markets showed resilience despite rising oil prices and 400 million dollars in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. Iran tensions pushed crude oil higher with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, increasing inflation pressure. The Fed kept rates at 3.50%-3.75%; four members dissented, the most since 1992. Mercado Bitcoin emphasized that short-term pressures stem from mixed factors. Fed Chair Powell's departure on May 15 and Kevin Warsh leading the June FOMC could trigger volatility. RSI at 61.60 gives neutral-bullish signal, while Supertrend is bearish and EMA 20 provides support at 76.046$. Institutional flows will be decisive in the medium term.
