The potential attack on liquidity by Bitcoin at the $72,000 price resistance line might be triggered by the European Central Bank’s first interest rate drop in four years.
When rate cuts reach Europe, the price of bitcoin stays at $71,000.
TradingView and Cointelegraph Markets Pro data revealed that the price of bitcoin was coiling below critical resistance at $72,000.
This was the last roadblock before an assault on all-time highs, which is still anticipated by market players given how macroeconomic developments have strengthened the case for the cryptocurrency bull market.

Trading company QCP Capital informed Telegram channel followers on the day that “a lower than expected jobless claims report tonight and the CPI release next week might potentially be the trigger for a new all-time high for BTC.”

QCP made mention to impending U.S. macrodata prints that provide information on inflation trends, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) print for May, which is scheduled for release on June 12.
The Fed will also convene on that day to confirm any changes to interest rates.
