BTC Closed April at 76K: May Rally?

BTC April Close and Seasonal Trend

Bitcoin closed April at 76.110,83 dollars while following a cautious course. Historical data shows that the largest cryptocurrency usually rises in May; in the 13 years since 2013, it ended with gains seven times. Following the approximately 10% increase in April, this seasonal trend indicates that the general upward trend may continue. Net inflows of 1.8 billion dollars into US spot ETFs this month and 1.32 billion dollars in March reinforce the strength of institutional demand. For detailed BTC analysis, the S&P 500 trading near record levels also supports similar optimism.

BTC Technical Outlook and Current Data

Current price: 76.309,09 USD (-0,49% 24s). RSI at 55.52 is neutral, trend sideways but Supertrend giving bearish signal.

EMA 20: 75.534 USD. Although the 2026 movement gives similar signals compared to the 2021-22 period, caution is required as it can be misleading in bear markets. BTC futures should be followed.

Resistances: R1 79.423 USD (strong, +%4,09), R2 77.222 USD.
