Breaking the $71,000 levels.. Are we waiting for a price explosion or an imminent correction? 🚀
Current market situation (April 9, 2026):
Bitcoin is experiencing a strong recovery after regaining the $71,000 levels, driven by the success of recent geopolitical calming and increased ETF fund inflows. The price is currently trading above all major moving averages (MA 7, 30, 14), which is a very positive technical signal we haven't seen in weeks.
Technical analysis and critical levels:
Resistance (Resistance): The toughest zone lies between
$72,000 - $74,000. Breaking through this zone with a daily close could directly open the way toward the $74,000 levels.
Support (Support): The $70,000 level has now become an important psychological support, followed by strong support at $69,400 (7-day moving average). Any drop below this level could bring us back to test $67,000.
Technical indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Currently in the neutral zone (around 54), indicating enough "breathing space" for the price to rise before entering the "overbought" zone.
Momentum: There are signs of positive divergence (Bullish Divergence) on the MACD (MACD), supporting the idea of continued upward movement.
What are we waiting for? The focus now is on inflation data (CPI), which will be released tomorrow and the day after. It is the main driver that will determine whether Bitcoin will break the $74,000 peak or return to test lower support levels.
💡 Question for followers:
Do you think BTC will succeed in breaking $74,000 before the end of the week, or will inflation data have a different opinion? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇

🏦 Crypto Institutions: Strategy Raises Fresh Capital via STRC Preferred Shares – Enough to Buy Over 2,500 BTC
Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy), the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy with its innovative funding tool: the STRC (Stretch) Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock
On April 9, 2026, monitoring data showed that Strategy’s latest issuance and sales of STRC preferred shares generated sufficient proceeds to purchase **more than 2,500 Bitcoin**. This single-day capital raise equals roughly **five times** the daily new Bitcoin supply produced by miners, highlighting the massive scale of institutional demand for the product.
**STRC** is a perpetual preferred stock listed on Nasdaq that currently offers an **11.50% annual dividend**, paid monthly in cash. The dividend rate is adjusted each month to encourage the shares to trade near their **$100 par value**, providing investors with a relatively stable, high-yield instrument while minimizing price volatility. Strategy deploys the majority of these proceeds directly into Bitcoin purchases, positioning STRC as a key “digital credit” vehicle to fuel its Bitcoin treasury without heavily diluting common shareholders.
This move comes as Strategy has already accumulated tens of thousands of BTC in 2026 alone. The company now holds a dominant position among public companies, often accounting for the vast majority of corporate Bitcoin buying in recent months while many peers have paused or reduced their holdings.
**Why it matters for the crypto market**
- Demonstrates strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin even amid geopolitical tensions.
- Provides a blueprint for other companies looking to build Bitcoin treasuries through creative capital structures.
- Supports ongoing buying pressure on BTC, which recently pushed above the **$71,000** level following ceasefire news.
Strategy’s CEO and leadership have described STRC as a game-changing product — sometimes calling it their “iPhone moment” — because it attracts income-focused investors while seamlessly converting capital into long-term Bitcoin holdings.
With Bitcoin trading in a bullish range and institutions continuing to accumulate, this latest STRC raise reinforces Strategy’s role as the most aggressive corporate Bitcoin buyer in the market.
Will more companies follow Strategy’s STRC playbook in 2026? Or is this level of leverage unique to them?
