Bitcoin Smashes $74K Resistance as Risk Appetite Returns—ETH, SOL Outperform

The breakout is finally here. Bitcoin cleared the $74,000 level that had rejected it four times in two weeks, now up 2.9% on the day and nearly 10% for the week. It's not just BTC—Ethereum jumped 7.7% to $2,261 (best week in months), Solana added 5.6% to $93, Dogecoin hit $0.10, BNB pushed to $683, and XRP climbed to $1.47. Analysts say this is more than a short squeeze—it's risk-on rotation, with capital flowing into higher-beta assets like ETH and SOL.

Macro is cooperating. Middle East tensions are easing: Trump says the U.S. is talking to Iran (Tehran denies), and Iran's foreign minister softened the Hormuz stance to "hostile vessels only." Oil has cooled—Brent down from $106 to $104, WTI below $100. The dollar is slipping, and S&P futures are up 0.5%.

Lower oil + weaker dollar + easing geopolitics = liquidity flowing back into crypto. Next test: the Fed meeting March 17–18. Powell's words could move markets again.
