BTC dey face $73,000 resistance as geopolitics cool di weekly rally
Bitcoin (BTC) miss for third time to break pass $73,000 and e slip to $71,843 for the week final trading day. Even though e gain +7.9% for the week, BTC still dey inside range, as buyers dey defend the $70,000–$73,000 area.
Key levels don become focus. FxPro talk say if e move steady pass $75,000 e fit restart more active bull phase, while Galaxy Digital man Mike Novogratz add say BTC likely need to hold above ~ $74,000 and then clear $80,000 to confirm say e go continue.
The rally initial boost wey come from Iran ceasefire don fade. Iran claim say US violate, plus only partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, don make risk sentiment come back. Oil don rebound above ~ $97 per barrel, keeping macro volatility high.
Ethereum (ETH) still constructive but e pull back, down about ~4% from Wednesday peak to around $2,189. ETH dey trade inside $2,000–$2,400 consolidation band.

Neutral
BTC don stuck for between clear resistance zone (US$73,000) and near-term support (about US$70,000). Bulls never show follow-through yet, and the bullish case depend on higher confirmation levels (US$75,000, then around US$80,000) wey never happen. At the same time, the weekly gain and defense near the rising 50-day moving average show say dips still dey bought.
Geopolitical headlines na the main swing factor. If the Iran ceasefire hold and the Strait of Hormuz open more, BTC fit retest and maybe break US$73,000. If tensions escalate, the downside scenario wey the articles highlight (US$68,000–US$70,000) go dey more likely. For now, traders fit expect continued choppy conditions and selective altcoin rotation rather than a broad breakout.
