Bitcoin remains above the $73,000 mark and is defying several headwinds. The US dollar has recently strengthened, and simultaneously, oil prices and US bond yields have risen — normally, this would put downward pressure on the Bitcoin price. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency seems to be digesting these factors quite well. It appears that Bitcoin is currently showing a certain independence from traditional market drivers. The strength of the US currency traditionally weakens commodities and risky assets, but this doesn't seem to be the case here. It could be a sign of increased institutional interest or simply that the market currently has other priorities. It's exciting to watch how long this resistance holds.
