Since April 9, Bitcoin's price has been on the rise, thanks to eased trade tensions. The current price is approaching the critical resistance level of $95,000. Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, remains cautious. He notes that stablecoin minting indicators have not returned to active levels. He believes $95,000 is a key resistance point and a potential trigger for short-term stop-loss liquidations.

However, some market perspectives suggest that even though Bitcoin hasn't yet broken the $95,000 resistance, increased market confidence could lead to a breakthrough soon. The market sentiment has shifted from panic mode, with the fear & greed index rising from a low of 25 to 53.

Additionally, John D'Agostino, head of strategy at Coinbase's institutional division, points out that retail investors are exiting the market through ETFs and spot trading. Meanwhile, sovereign wealth funds and other institutions are accumulating Bitcoin, helping to absorb selling pressure from profit-taking.
