The broader crypto market joined BTC in a sharp rebound following a key macro development: US President Donald Trump\u2019s announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China, which now faces a 145% tariff. This easing of trade war fears brought some much-needed relief across risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the volatility, Bitcoin\u2019s resilience is gaining attention. According to insights from CryptoQuant, whales\u2014large holders excluding entities like exchanges and mining pools\u2014have not exited their positions. In fact, current on-chain data shows accumulation activity similar to what was observed during the August\u2013September 2023 sideways market phase. This pattern historically reflects long-term conviction and has often preceded major rallies.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/over-85-of-bitcoin-holders-still-in-profit-despite-tariff-driven-correction-resilience-on-display\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">short-term uncertainty remains<\/a>, the continued presence of whale accumulation supports the idea that this correction is part of a broader bullish cycle rather than a structural breakdown. With prices stabilizing and sentiment slowly improving, Bitcoin now faces a critical test to reclaim higher levels and potentially resume its upward trajectory.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Resilient As Key Accumulation Suggests Bull Cycle Intact<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin remains strong after reclaiming the $80,000 level, and many analysts believe the worst part of the correction is over. However, global tensions\u2014especially those tied to escalating U.S. tariffs\u2014continue to pressure financial markets, with fears of a looming global recession growing. Despite this backdrop, Bitcoin has shown resilience and is now approaching a critical daily resistance near $88,700.<\/p>\n<p>The recent 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all nations except China, which still faces a 145% tariff, has provided some short-term relief. But lasting recovery depends on whether the US and China can reach a broader agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/67f91832b71f0960817cf4bb-btc-whales-havent-made-their-exit-yet?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=mignolet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">on-chain data<\/a> from CryptoQuant reveals a compelling trend: Bitcoin whales haven\u2019t made their exit. These whales, excluding exchanges and mining pools, offer a clearer view of real trading behavior and accumulation patterns. Historically, their movements have closely mirrored price action.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-446874 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?resize=980%2C414\" alt=\"Bitcoin 1-year Change in Whale Holdings | Source: CryptoQuant \" width=\"980\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/btc_0dd47b.webp?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>At the cycle peak last year, whale exits were marked by consistent profit-taking. This time, however, they are accumulating again, echoing patterns seen in the August\u2013September 2023 sideways market. Unlike the 2020 COVID crash, which whales anticipated with early exits, they are holding firm during this correction.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests the current downturn is not a structural crisis but a sharp pullback in a broader bull cycle. If this manufactured crisis resolves, a new wave of liquidity\u2014possibly driven by QE from both the Fed and China\u2014could favor assets like gold and Bitcoin. For now, whale conviction remains a bullish signal.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Price Near Key Moving Averages<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin is trading at $83,600, now just 5% away from the 200-day moving average (MA) around $87,100. This technical level is a crucial milestone for bulls aiming to confirm a reversal and reestablish a long-term uptrend. To build a solid bullish case, BTC must not only hold above the $81,000 support zone but also reclaim the $85,000 level, which aligns closely with the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-446875 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?resize=980%2C569\" alt=\"BTC testing crucial liquidity | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView\" width=\"980\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=2368 2368w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTCUSD_2025-04-12_02-55-33.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>Reclaiming these moving averages would signal a potential shift in trend, helping reinforce short-term momentum and restoring confidence across the market. The price action over the past week has shown signs of strength, but technical validation through these averages is essential before a true breakout can unfold.<\/p>\n<p>However, downside risks remain. If Bitcoin fails to hold the $81,000\u2013$80,000 range, selling pressure could escalate quickly. A breakdown below this region would likely open the door to a retest of the $75,000 level, where demand could be tested again.<\/p>\n<p>With macroeconomic tensions still weighing on investor sentiment, BTC is at a critical inflection point. The coming days will determine whether bulls can solidify control\u2014or if another correction leg is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After suffering a steep 30% correction that took prices below $75,000, Bitcoin is showing signs of strength once again.
