Bitcoin Breaks Through $75,000: Sentiment Remains Unflipped, Short-term Resistance Ahead, Long-term Support Below

Bitcoin surged 3.4% in 24 hours and 8.74% over 7 days, breaking through $75,000, driven primarily by institutional buying (such as Strategy adding 18,000 BTC at $1.28 billion) and technical breakouts above $70,000-$73,000 resistance. However, market sentiment has not reversed: the Fear and Greed Index remains in "Extreme Fear" (23), and short-term caution is warranted regarding potential pullbacks at $75,000-$76,000 strong resistance.

Key Drivers: Institutional Buying + Technical Breakout
- Institutional buying signal: Strategy, as the world's largest corporate BTC holder (cumulative 783,000 BTC), added positions at an average price of $70,900/BTC through an ATM equity offering, signaling confidence in "long-term accumulation."
- Technical setup: Daily chart shows an uptrend channel, breaking above $70,000-$73,000 to target $75,000 (Fibonacci 0.236 retracement level), with Bollinger Bands upper rail ($74,000) and MACD golden cross confirming short-term momentum. However, $75k-$76k represents a multi-time rejection zone from 2026 rebounds; holding here opens targets of $85,000-$93,000, while a breakdown looks to $70,000-$72,000 support.

Market Sentiment: Still in "Extreme Fear," No Fundamental Reversal
- Current state: Fear and Greed Index at 23 (0-25 is Extreme Fear), with investors concerned about "false breakout" pullbacks (such as the March early surge to $74,000 followed by retreat), Fed rate hold (rate cuts delayed to September), and Middle East geopolitical risks.
- Divergence: Price rising but sentiment cold, reflecting market hesitation over "trend confirmation"—need to break above $76k to overturn bearish expectations.

Short-term vs Long-term: Caution Contains Opportunity
- Short-term (1-2 weeks): Monitor $75k-$76k resistance closely; if stuck or pullback occurs, watch for $70,000-$72,000 support; avoid chasing rallies, beware of profit-taking.
- Long-term (1-3 months): Ongoing institutional buying (Strategy plans additional $580 million in purchases) + post-breakout "trend confirmation" could shift sentiment from fear toward neutrality, supporting long-term allocation logic.
