The Bitcoin price is bouncing back strongly amid growing hopes for a potential 
shift in the standoff between the US and Iran. So far, BTC has gained roughly 
10% in the weekly time frame. This pushed the asset back toward the $76,000 
area and briefly marked a nearly one-month high. The move appears to have been 
driven by improving sentiment around the conflict, even as tensions remain 
very real and the US simultaneously took action in the region. Regulatory 
Clarity Before A Bigger Push? The Bitcoin price rally followed claims by 
President Donald Trump that Iran had reached out to his administration about 
possible peace talks. At the same time, the US began a naval blockade of the 
Strait of Hormuz. Related Reading: XRP Could Face Big Moves Based On CLARITY 
Act Outcomes – 3 Key Price Scenarios Damien Loh, chief investment officer at 
Ericsenz Capital, told Bloomberg that Bitcoin is behaving like other risk 
assets during the move. In his view, the market interpreted Trump’s comments 
as a sign that the timeline for a deal may be getting extended and that 
another round of discussions is being pursued. Loh also added an important 
nuance: the Bitcoin price has been trading better than broader risk assets, 
but he suggested it may take additional regulatory clarity before the next leg 
up can truly take hold. Specifically, he pointed to the possibility that the 
Bitcoin price could remain range-bound until the US passes the long-awaited 
CLARITY Act, the industry’s market structure framework. Bitcoin Price Breakout 
Is Just Getting Started Market analyst Ali Martinez, citing data from his 
latest analysis, argued that the current push higher is not finished. Martinez 
said BTC has finally broken above a descending trendline on its 12-hour chart 
after roughly two months of consolidation inside a symmetrical triangle. He 
described this as a structural change—essentially signaling that the “coiling” 
phase is over. If the breakout holds, Martinez expects the Bitcoin price could 
move toward $80,000, which would mark the highest point since January 31 of 
this year. Martinez also pointed out that the bullish momentum is happening 
for more reasons than just the Iran–US news. He said Bitcoin miners have 
paused forced selling and have been hoarding more than $330 million in BTC 
over the past few weeks. Related Reading: Three-Way Bitcoin Outlook Tied To 
US–Iran War—Which Case Is Most Realistic? On the demand side, the analyst said 
there’s a noticeable increase in interest from US-based institutions. He 
referenced the Coinbase Premium metric as one piece of evidence, noting that 
it has flipped positive. In his framing, a positive Coinbase Premium suggests 
that regulated capital may be positioning aggressively ahead of what could be 
the next upward move. Even after the Bitcoin price initially surged toward 
$76,000, it later retraced slightly. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price 
was trading around $75,163, still close to a key level Martinez has 
highlighted. He set a target of $75,300, explaining that reaching this price 
point would liquidate roughly $80 million in short positions. Martinez said 
this could trigger what he described as a “cascading effect,” where forced 
buying from liquidations catches bearish traders off guard and allows BTC to 
continue moving higher. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from

X Launches Interactive Cashtags With Real-Time Stock and Crypto Data for US and Canada iPhone Users

Bitcoin has approached $75,000 as on-chain data shows the whale-sized 
investors have pushed their supply to the highest point since mid-February. 
Bitcoin Whale Holdings Have Crossed 4.25 Million BTC In a new post on X, on- 
chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the 
Bitcoin whale supply. &#8220;Whales&#8221; typically refer to investors holding between 
1,000 and 10,000 tokens of the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Huge XRP Bull 
Market Ahead? Analyst Flags ‘Ultimate’ Buy Zone At the current exchange rate, 
this range converts to $74.5 million at the lower end and $745 million at the 
upper end. Thus, the only holders who would qualify for the cohort would be 
those with a substantial amount of capital invested in the asset. Given their 
massive size, whale entities can hold some degree of influence in the market. 
As such, their behavior can often be worth keeping an eye on. Below is the 
chart shared by Santiment that shows the data for the combined supply held by 
investors of this size, which can act as a proxy for their behavior. From the 
graph, it&#8217;s visible that the Bitcoin whale supply witnessed a decline earlier, 
indicating large investors were participating in distribution. Since bottoming 
out in mid-March, however, the metric has seen an upward reversal. The uptrend 
accelerated during this weekend, with whale-sized wallets scooping up 27,652 
BTC (worth more than $2 billion) on Sunday alone. The fresh accumulation has 
meant that the whale supply has returned to 4.25 million BTC, which is the 
highest value of the metric since mid-February. A Bitcoin rally back toward 
the $75,000 level has followed the whale expansion, so it&#8217;s possible that 
buying from these humongous investors helped provide fuel for the surge. Whale 
behavior could now be monitored as what this group will do next could further 
impact the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. The recent trend has been one of 
accumulation, but it often doesn&#8217;t take much for the whales to flip. Back in 
February, these investors participated in significant buying initially, but 
then they quickly reversed course, taking their supply to a lower point than 
what they started buying at. Related Reading: XRP Social FUD Nears 2-Year 
High—Contrarian Signal Brewing? Bitcoin isn&#8217;t the only digital asset that has 
seen bullish action from the whale entities recently. As the analytics firm 
has highlighted in another X post, the Ethereum network has observed a rise in 
wallets holding at least 100,000 ETH (about $238.4 million). As displayed in 
the above chart, the large Ethereum holders have seen their population jump 
from 54 to 57 over the past week, indicating an influx of fresh big-money 
capital. &#8220;You can expect a level of correlation with price when this number 
grows, and there is strong justification that the #2 market cap can continue 
its rise,&#8221; explained Santiment. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is 
trading around $74,500, up 8% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E,
