Bitcoin Price Nears Critical Resistance Level Amid Institutional Interest Surge

Bitcoin is once again showing strength in the face of market volatility, with bulls approaching $80,000 resistance. Institutional interest in BTC has picked up, with spot bitcoin ETFs seeing inflows of $630 million on May 1.

According to analyst Daan Crypto Trades, holding above $72,000 is crucial for maintaining a bullish structure and preserving the current upward trend. This level was broken earlier this year, leading to a 10% rally in April.

The $80,000 range has strong technical confluence, including the November 2025 low, daily 200-day moving average, exponential moving average, and a CME gap near $84,000.
