#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Bitcoin breaks through $73,000, CPI data below expectations drives market rally

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin price broke through the $73,000 mark on Friday, mainly influenced by U.S. March CPI data being below market expectations.
Key data:
U.S. energy index in March rose 10.9%, gasoline prices increased 21.2% month-over-month, marking the largest monthly gain since 1967. Despite the sharp rise in energy prices, overall CPI remained below expectations.
Market analysts believe that CPI data below expectations eased concerns about inflation pressures, providing room for risk assets to rebound.

Tom Lee: Market may have bottomed out, focus on assets leading gains since the war
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated on X platform that, despite lingering skepticism in the overall market, increasing signs indicate that the current market "bottom has appeared."
Tom Lee’s investment advice:
Primary: Ethereum and related assets (ETHA, BMNR)
Secondary: Bitcoin and its ETFs (IBIT)
He emphasized that Ethereum has shown relative strength during geopolitical conflicts, becoming a "barometer" of market resilience. Cryptocurrencies have proven to be a "store of value during wartime."
