Analysis

Bitcoin extended its Friday surge of 7%, locking in a 22% weekly advance that marks the strongest performance in over three years after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doubled longer-dated Treasury purchases to $4 billion.

The move signals administration intent to cap long-term yields near 2007 highs, yet remains far smaller than multi-trillion-dollar Fed QE programs, prompting Gary Black to advise fading the BTC rally as this intervention prints no new money.

With price testing upper Bollinger resistance at $79555.25 while RSI(14) flashes overbought at 91.68, a healthy retracement to the 50-EMA support at $67860.31 seems probable before further continuation, even as MACD golden cross at 3257.74 keeps the broader bullish structure intact above the 200-EMA at $65122.36.
