Over the past 48 hours, the crypto market has staged a sharp recovery, highlighted by Bitcoin surging to around 95000 dollars, its highest level since early March. Bitcoin climbed more than 11 percent in just two sessions last week, marking a gain of about 23 percent from its April lows. This rebound has reversed the cautious sentiment that dominated much of early April. The rally is attributed to several factors, including renewed inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs, increased investor interest as the US dollar shows signs of weakness, and ongoing volatility in traditional equity markets.
Institutional investment has been a key force, with spot Bitcoin ETF inflows hitting 381 million dollars on Monday alone, the most in the last three months and part of four consecutive days of positive inflows. Regulatory shifts have played a significant role too. The appointment of Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chairman and momentum for a US stablecoin regulation bill have reassured the market. Additionally, the US Treasury Secretary’s proposal to ease regulations on stablecoins has sparked higher trading volumes in assets like USDT and USDC, supporting overall market liquidity.
Technical indicators support the bullish outlook. Strong buying pressure is visible, with bullish patterns and positive trends in key moving averages. Ethereum has also seen a pronounced recovery, although its price remains below its late 2021 highs and is yet to test its all-time peak again.
Despite the recent upturn, risks remain. Some analysts warn that the transfer of a large amount of Bitcoin from the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange to centralized exchanges like Kraken could trigger market volatility if creditor selling increases. However, historical data shows April is typically one of Bitcoin’s strongest months for returns, often setting the stage for further gains into May.
Crypto industry leaders are now focusing on product innovation and regulatory engagement to sustain momentum. Mainstream acceptance continues to grow, with institutional players increasing exposure and traders anticipating further upward moves should regulatory clarity continue to improve. Compared to earlier this month, the mood in crypto has shifted from caution to cautious optimism, driven by both market structure and macroeconomic developments.
