According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin rose over 5% on Tuesday, reaching a daily high of $76,120, the highest level since February 6, successfully reclaiming the key support area of $75,000—where the 100-day exponential moving average and simple moving average intersect. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin broke through the upper boundary of the ascending triangle at $73,000 on Monday.Analyst CryptoBlockto stated, "Bitcoin broke through $76,000, standing above the March high, sending a bullish signal of renewed strength." He pointed out that if the daily close stabilizes above the $75,000 moving average area, it will confirm the breakout of the pattern, with the next resistance level at the psychological barrier of $80,000, and the measured target of the ascending triangle pointing to $89,050, about 18% higher than the current price. The daily RSI has now risen to 63, having previously fallen to the oversold area of 15 on February 6.On-chain data shows that the average daily number of Bitcoin transactions has increased by 62% since 2026, reaching 765,130 on April 5, a new 17-month high, comparable to the level when Bitcoin first broke $100,000 during the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts stated that during the Iran war, Bitcoin outperformed gold and silver, showing signs of inflows and increased activity, while precious metals faced significant outflows and position liquidations.Analysts pointed out that gold ETFs saw outflows of nearly $11 billion, and silver ETFs have completely reversed the inflows since last summer, while Bitcoin showed net inflows during the same period, indicating its strong performance relative to traditional safe-haven assets. The analysts noted that following the outbreak of war, cryptocurrency activity in Iran surged, with local residents transferring funds from domestic exchanges to self-custody wallets and international platforms. Bitcoin's borderless nature, self-custody capability, and 24/7 trading make it the preferred tool for capital movement during times of economic instability, currency pressure, and capital controls.In terms of institutional holdings, gold and silver futures positions have significantly decreased since January, while Bitcoin futures positions have remained relatively stable. The liquidity situation has also reversed, with Bitcoin's market breadth surpassing that of gold.

According to Jinshi News, the Bank of England will announce its interest rate decision and meeting minutes at 20:00 Beijing time tonight, and the European Central Bank will announce its interest rate decision at 21:15.Due to the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, the monetary policies of the two central banks are facing uncertainties. It is expected that this decision will maintain a wait-and-see approach, but market expectations for future interest rate hikes are rising, and investors should be aware of potential risks.

As the Middle East conflict leads to flight cancellations and logistics disruptions, a large amount of gold stranded in Dubai is being sold at a noticeable discount.Insiders reveal that due to exceptionally high transportation and insurance costs, and the inability to guarantee timely delivery, many buyers have suspended new procurement orders. As a result, under the pressure of indefinitely bearing storage and capital costs, traders have started selling gold at discounts of up to $30 per ounce below the London benchmark price.Sources say that although some gold has been loaded onto flights leaving Dubai since the middle of this week, as of Friday, many batches of gold remain stranded. The UAE, especially Dubai, is a significant global hub for gold refining and trading, exporting gold to various parts of Asia and serving as an important transit point for gold to Switzerland, the UK, and several African countries. Due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, some airspace in the UAE has been closed; meanwhile, the military strikes by the US and Israel against Iran have entered their seventh day, with no signs of an end in sight.

Cryptocurrency market analyst Axel posted that in the past 7 days, Bitcoin has seen a continuous net outflow from trading platforms, with a total of 47,700 coins for the week, marking a new high for weekly outflows in nearly a year. The daily net outflows of Bitcoin were: -2,867, -1,205, -251, -6,129, -1,819, -31,900, -3,478 coins. Among these, the significant anomaly on March 4th, with 31,900 coins, stands out; such a scale of daily outflow is usually related to large holders transferring to cold wallets, and it cannot be ruled out that some reflect internal transfers within custodial institutions. Continuous net outflows from trading platforms typically indicate a potential weakening of selling pressure in the spot market. If Bitcoin's net outflow continues in the next 3-5 days without a large-scale inflow, it can be confirmed as a "sustained accumulation" signal.Additionally, the annual stablecoin net flow chart shows that at the beginning of March, there was a significant net inflow of about 1.1 billion USD, but it quickly turned into a net outflow, with the current reading at -37.5 million USD. Axel stated that the key to interpreting the data lies in the correlation; the large inflow of stablecoins at the beginning of March and the Bitcoin outflow anomaly on March 4th form a complete operational closed loop, where funds entered the trading platform in the form of stablecoins, were exchanged for BTC, and then moved to on-chain storage. This is a typical characteristic of large spot purchasing behavior.
