Bitcoin saw a fresh attempt to hit new local highs on the back of lower-than-expected US CPI data, despite a giant gas-price increase.

New BTC price analysis predicted that the bear market would bottom out later in the year, before beginning a "two-year accumulation phase."

Bitcoin avoids major volatility after the first of the week's two key US inflation reports, while a trader sees a "new upwards leg" coming for BTC price action.

Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $72,000 on ceasefire news, but fading momentum, resistance and macro risks leave traders questioning the strength of the breakout.
