Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> (BTC) is stalling below the $76,000 zone in mid-April 2026, as on-chain data shows exchange inflows surging to <\/span>multi-month highs<\/b>. This development occurs as the BTC price hovers around $75,600, down slightly by about 0.4% in 24 hours but still up over 3% for the week. The surge in Bitcoin transfers to exchanges coincides with the price approaching this key resistance, suggesting the building short-term selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\nBitcoin Struggles Below Key Resistance<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\nBTC Price Chart (1D).
