Bitcoin Coinbase Premium threatens bear flag repeat with BTC price at $76K Bitcoin price action risked repeating January's breakdown despite April being poised to offer the best monthly BTC price gains in a year. Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded above $76,000 at Thursday’s Wall Street open while traders stayed bearish on the short-term BTC price outlook. Key points: - Bitcoin's Coinbase Premium Index flips negative as analysis warned the January breakdown could repeat. - BTC price action is already at risk of repeating a bear flag breakdown to new macro lows. - The April monthly close should still offer Bitcoin's best gains in a year.
