Bitcoin ended April with an 11.87% gain, marking a recovery after a weak first quarter and showing improved market structure with higher lows and steadier demand. This shift reflects increased spot buying and normalized derivatives activity, contributing to smoother price movements and reduced volatility. Traders are now watching if this momentum will continue into May, though historical trends suggest May can be unpredictable, influenced more by liquidity changes than consistent seasonal patterns. The broader crypto market, including Ethereum, also showed signs of recovery, but May's direction remains uncertain and dependent on volume and support levels.
