Bitcoin's 14% April rally is set to hinge on the $82,000 CME gap, Magnificent Seven earnings, and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. The leading crypto is currently trading at around $76,200, down 2.1% in the past 24 hours. Over the past month, Bitcoin has risen by roughly 14%. Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital highlighted three key factors including negative perpetual funding rates over the past week, implied volatility drifting lower, and risk reversals less skewed to the downside. Despite this, the market faces an immediate macro risk from the first-quarter earnings reports for Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, and Apple, five of the "Magnificent Seven".
