Btc regained momentum after falling alongside risk assets following inflation figures that strengthened expectations of a more cautious approach from the Federal Reserve. However, investors quickly returned to higher-risk markets, helping Bitcoin stabilize near an important technical support zone.

S&P 500 Reaches New High as Risk Appetite Improves

While inflation concerns briefly rattled markets, the S&P 500 closed at a new all time high, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average pushed back toward the 50,000 mark. Rising investor confidence has supported demand for risk assets, even as oil prices hovered near $100 per barrel amid geopolitical tensions.

Analysts also pointed to growing money supply levels and strong activity in leveraged investment products as signs that liquidity remains supportive for speculative assets.

Bitcoin Support Zone Keeps $85K Target Alive

Bitcoin’s ability to hold support near $79,400 remains critical. If buyers maintain control above this level, traders expect a possible move toward the $84,000 to $85,000 range in the coming sessions. However, failure to defend support could open the door to another short-term pullback.
