Gate News message, April 28 — Bitcoin has declined below $76,000 amid geopolitical tensions and a possible U.S.-Iran peace agreement. Singapore-based analytics firm QCP Capital outlined the technical level required for a sustained recovery.
QCP Capital identified the CME gap at $82,000 as a critical resistance level that Bitcoin must reclaim to reach $90,000. The firm noted that whether the next rally becomes a sustainable recovery or a bear trap depends on BTC closing above this level. Investors are gradually rebuilding long positions, with reduced bearish hedging activity compared to recent weeks.
Two major catalysts could accelerate Bitcoin’s recovery: first-quarter earnings reports from five of the “Magnificent Seven” tech companies (Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, and Apple), and the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting scheduled for April. While the Fed is widely expected to hold interest rates unchanged, the tech earnings will represent the first meaningful test of risk appetite in the U.S. technology sector since U.S.-Iran tensions escalated. Positive market sentiment this week could provide a credible path for Bitcoin’s recovery.

CryptoQuant: April’s BTC rise was driven by perpetual futures, warning of correction risk
The study said that in April, the Bitcoin price was driven by perpetual contract long positions, while spot demand remained weak. The increase rose from $66k to $79k, about 20%. The structure resembled the early stage of the 2022 bear market. The study’s head warned that unless spot demand turns positive, it would be difficult to sustainably break above $79k, and the risk of corrections is increasing. The bull market score index fell from 50 to 40, with spot-expressed demand still negative, suggesting that the rally may be driven by leverage rather than new buying pressure.
