[Analysis: Bitcoin Faces Resistance After Hitting $72,000, CPI and US-Iran Talks Become Key Variables] Odaily Planet Daily News - Bitcoin has risen nearly 7% since Sunday, slowing its upward momentum after reaching the $72,000 range, with institutional fund flows remaining unclear. The market is focusing on two major uncertainties: the U.S. March CPI data (expected to exceed 3% year-over-year, driven by energy prices) and the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations over the weekend. The options market shows institutions simultaneously chasing $80,000 call options on Deribit and BlackRock's IBIT-related call options, while maintaining a high proportion of put options to hedge downside risks. If the CPI exceeds expectations, it may strengthen the Federal Reserve's rate hike outlook, putting pressure on risk assets, including Bitcoin. (CoinDesk)
