*Bearish Scenario*: Fail to hold before FOMC on April 28–29, or ETF inflow slows = correction to $77,000. Rising wedge pattern on D1 also targets a drop to $71,000. RSI is strong but market remains selective, no euphoria volume spike yet 2be9e639ca54

*Note*: BTC dominance is 95% of max supply, so BTC remains the main reference for crypto market direction ca54

*Conclusion*
BTC is experiencing a _relief rally_ after correction, supported by institutional accumulation via ETFs. The trend is not fully bullish yet because weekly data is still red and volume lacks euphoria. Watch levels $75K as support and $78K as the door to $80K. If entering, “Buy the Blood Zone” according to Elliott Wave is in the wave-c correction area, but risk management remains essential f3d8
