**Bitcoin Surges Amid Conference Buzz and Mixed Economic Data**

Bitcoin (BTC) hit three-day highs on July 26 as anticipation for the Bitcoin 2024 conference grew. BTC/USD reached $67,963 on Bitstamp, shrugging off mixed U.S. inflation data from the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index and strong unemployment figures.

Despite the mixed economic signals, Bitcoin climbed nearly 7% from the previous day's lows, joining U.S. stocks in an upward trend. Traders are optimistic, with popular analyst Jelle predicting a breakout to $85,000. Another target is $68,900, just below Bitcoin's old all-time highs.

This weekend promises volatility as Donald Trump speaks at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. With the weekly and monthly close approaching, all eyes are on Bitcoin's next move.
