Bitcoin has experienced a price surge rising by, over 12.50% to surpass $64,000 on May 4th after dropping to a low of around $56,550 two months ago. This rebound comes in the context of the U.S. Federal Reserves decision to maintain interest rates until 2024.

On May 4th Bitcoin was valued at $63,514. Briefly crossed the technical indicator of the 50 day exponential moving average (EMA). However it encountered resistance to $64,895, which corresponds to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Analysts are closely monitoring Bitcoins ability to sustain its momentum and challenge resistance levels with a target near the 0.786 Fibonacci line at around $69,650.

The price recovery has been supported by U.S. Employment data showing a decrease in claims to their lowest point since mid February. This development has created an atmosphere in markets that could potentially drive further increases in Bitcoins value.

Despite optimism technical analysis indicates that Bitcoin may encounter obstacles ahead. Failure to decisively surpass resistance levels could lead to a consolidation phase or even a potential reversal. The next crucial support level is estimated around $60,500.

The Bitcoin Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric, which monitors the gains and losses of Bitcoin holders suggests a decrease, in market excitement. On May 4 the NUPL was 0.54 down from its peak of 0.68 in March. Historically a falling NUPL often precedes price adjustments.

Despite this trend some market experts are optimistic about Bitcoins potential. SHIB Knight, an analyst foresees Bitcoin potentially reaching $85,000 in the months due to positive technical indicators. Another analyst known as Steph is Crypto has even hinted at a six figure target driven by a Relative Strength Index (RSI).
