Bitcoin Price Shoots to $78K Despite Donald Trump's 3rd Assassination Attempt

Bitcoin held above $78,000 despite a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, with BTC trading around $78,121 (up 0.58%) and an intraday high near $78,197. The market showed little flight-to-safety, reflecting continued risk appetite and steady spot demand — highlighted by a 14‑day positive Coinbase premium — rather than leverage-driven moves. Analysts see immediate resistance in the $78k–$80k area; reclaiming $80,000 could open a move toward a CME gap near $84,000, while a decisive breakout above $84k–$87k would signal a trend reversal out of the bear phase. Overall, price action and on‑chain/spot-demand indicators point to resilient buying and a cautiously bullish outlook in the near term.
