Spot

Bitcoin has surged past the $71,000 mark, driven by significant spot <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/21/ether-soars-16-as-odds-of-sec-approving-etfs-rise-to-75/">Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a> activity. On-chain indicators suggest the onset of a bull market, though some signals indicate possible topping patterns. 
A recent support bounce near $60,000 sparked renewed investor interest, with Farside Investors reporting $950 million in inflows last week.

The BTC/USDT daily chart shows Bitcoin trading at <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$71,000</a>, with a 20-day EMA at $65,347.02 and a positive RSI. Overcoming the $68,000 resistance points to a potential rise to $73,777, though this could trigger bearish reactions. 
Bitcoin’s 51% year-to-date gain reflects investor expectations of U.S. monetary expansion, with the M2 monetary base surpassing $21.0 trillion in April 2024. 
Exchange BTC reserves have dropped to a seven-year low, with only 1,918,417 BTC available on major trading platforms, <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/asset/btc/chart/exchange-flows/exchange-reserve?exchange=all_exchange&amp;window=DAY&amp;sma=0&amp;ema=0&amp;priceScale=log&amp;metricScale=linear&amp;chartStyle=line" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CryptoQuant. The recent bitcoin halving event and the current scarcity of bitcoins further reinforce the positive correlation, making it hard to argue that those favoring the long call are wrong.
