Bitcoin up 13.6 percent in April, poised for biggest monthly gain in a year

Bitcoin has risen 13.6 percent so far in April, increasing the chances of its strongest monthly gain in a year. It traded above $77,000 and pulled back after reaching its strongest level since early February. The rebound has been linked to an improved macro backdrop and recovering liquidity, including an expansion in Tether’s USDT supply toward $150 billion. Analysts also cited ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and a $79,000 resistance level.
