The crypto market has rebounded, with Bitcoin rising 10% over the last eight days and Ethereum up 12% in the same period. The total market cap is now up about 2.95% to $2.47 trillion in 24 hours, adding roughly $209 billion in value.
The primary driver is Japan’s regulatory momentum. The Japanese cabinet has approved a bill that classifies crypto as official “financial products,” giving institutions more confidence to treat crypto similarly to traditional assets.
Secondary factors include:
Near‑term, the outlook remains bullish if Bitcoin holds its $69,000–$70,000 support range. The next event to watch is the SEC’s CLARITY Act roundtable on April 16, which could either confirm the current momentum or trigger a re‑evaluation by traders.
Bitcoin is currently trading around $72,900–$73,000, still technically in a larger bearish trend, but now showing signs of a relief rally after a deep oversold phase.
Bitcoin is now testing a major resistance zone between $72,000 and $76,000—a range that has acted as strong resistance since 2024 and has repeatedly flipped between support and resistance over 2025 and 2026. If BTC breaks and holds above $76,000, analysts expect a move toward the mid‑$80s, around $85,000–$86,000, as the next major target.
Ethereum has bounced back above $2,240–$2,250, recovering about 9% in the last week.
On the daily chart, ETH is trading between $2,150 and $2,250, a range that has become critical. If Ethereum holds this zone as support, the bullish inverse head and shoulders structure remains intact, with a technical target around $2,430 as the next upside. However, a confirmed break below $2,150–$2,200 would invalidate the current pattern and reopen the door to deeper downside.
In the short term, many analysts expect a small cool‑off, mirroring Bitcoin’s structure, with a roughly 1‑day setback possible before the next leg up.
XRP is trading around $1.35, up about 3% over the last seven days, and still in a larger bearish trend on the weekly chart. However, the price is now firmly testing a long‑watched support zone around $1.30–$1.35, which has served as a major downside target and bounce area for months.
If XRP continues to hold above $1.30, the downside could be limited and the coin may trade sideways in its $1.30–$1.45 range. XRP is expected to follow Bitcoin’s lead over the next few days: if BTC pulls back into a small cool‑off, XRP is likely to see similar weakness, but not necessarily a full breakdown as long as that $1.30 floor holds.
