BTC/USD: Bitcoin se približuje ceni 80.000 dolarjev, saj se povpraševanje, ki se je kopičilo, počasi začne uveljavljati

[lklol]

Key points:
Bitcoin prices rise
$80,000 in sight
Up 16% in April
Enthusiastic traders were bidding up the token as hopes of US-Iran ceasefire remained alive for yet another day.

Bitcoin Edges Toward $80K

Bitcoin BTCUSD rose as much as 2% to about $79,500 Monday, approaching levels last seen at the end of January when the token last traded above $80,000. Now the round-number milestone is starting to look less like resistance and more like unfinished business.
The advance followed reports that Iran may have proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing energy-market tension and supporting risk assets globally. Neither side confirmed the proposal, but markets rarely wait for signatures before reacting.
Ether joined the move with gains near 1.7%, reinforcing the idea that crypto sentiment is improving across the board rather than relying on Bitcoin alone.
Shorts Cover, Institutions Return

Part of the rally reflects short covering — traders closing bearish bets as prices rise. When shorts exit positions, they buy back the asset, which can accelerate upward momentum even without fresh fundamental catalysts.
Institutional flows also improved. US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted roughly $2.5 billion in inflows this month, already on track to double March’s totals after four straight months of net outflows prior.
Meanwhile, Strategy, the Bitcoin hoarder. added about $3.9 billion worth of Bitcoin in April alone, marking its largest monthly accumulation in a year in a big flex that long-term conviction is still there.
April — a Breakout Month

Zoom out time. Bitcoin is up roughly 16% so far in April, putting it on pace for its first double-digit monthly gain since May 2025. Momentum like that tends to attract both trend-followers and sidelined capital waiting for confirmation signals.
Oil prices also eased from earlier highs as Hormuz tensions softened slightly, supporting broader risk appetite — a backdrop crypto typically benefits from alongside equities.
If ceasefire optimism holds, traders will keep testing the $80,000 ceiling. Break above it, and the narrative may shift from recovery to breakout. Fail there, and consolidation could make another appearance.
