The price of Bitcoin will touch $78,000 if the international tensions are relaxed

The price of Bitcoin briefly touched $ 78,000 yesterday, a level not seen since the beginning of February, before recovering a little to settle on the current support levels. The move was triggered by the announcement of a two-week agreement between the United States and Iran, which led to a drop in crude oil prices and led to a long-term closure of $ 427 million, which reduced the risk of the Strait of Hormuz that forced the economy to be dangerous for several months.

Crypto-related businesses have outperformed Bitcoin itself during the recovery period; Shares of Coinbase, Robinhood, and Strategy have jumped at least 25% since Friday, while BTC has gained less than 7% over the past five trading days. This performance is strong when viewed separately, but still pales in comparison to stock returns.

Alex Saunders, an expert at Citi Bank, showed this strength clearly, saying: “The correlation between cryptocurrencies and stocks has strengthened after the recent decline,” and stocks are now pulling the top cryptocurrencies with them.

Meanwhile, Tether has resumed its Bitcoin collection, with blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence confirming that 951 BTC have moved to a wallet called “Tether:BTC Reserve,” adding to the quiet but impressive purchasing power.

Will the price of Bitcoin break the $80,000 barrier before it ends?

After retrieving the 50-day EMA during a sustained contraction, Bitcoin’s trading volume rose in line with a short-term squeeze. There is also a short position of $6 billion accumulated between the levels of $72,200 and $73,500, with an increase around $72,500. That area has already been breached, providing fuel for the current wave.

The current trend is resisting at $75,000 to $80,000 levels against strong support at $62,000, which represents the bottom of the 2-month consolidation.

If the volatility materializes, expectations of Fed tapering could strengthen based on oil supply and inflation, while demand for real estate could push Bitcoin’s price to break the $80,000 barrier. Forecasts show a median price of $78,600 with a ceiling approaching $82,500.

The whale data adds incredible detail; Only the second time in 2026 that the wallets had more than 10,000 BTC, which shows a natural increase. However, some experts, including Steve McClurg of Canary Capital, believe that 2026 still represents the “low stage” in the four-year period of Bitcoin, a time when historical witnesses fall from 60% to 80% from the peaks of their gains.

Bitcoin Hyper Project Tracks Early Gains As Market Awaits Confirmation

Bitcoin at $76,000 is a recovery point and not a new price point. From today’s market value, doubling that price would require an injection of about $3 trillion in new capital. This valuation has led some investors to shift part of their capital to the infrastructure being built on top of the Bitcoin network.

The Bitcoin Hyper project ($HYPER) is known as the first 2 Bitcoin platform to be integrated with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), combining the security of the Bitcoin network and the efficiency of the collaboration that the project claims surpasses Solana in terms of latency.

This project aims to overcome three weaknesses of Bitcoin’s design: slow transactions, high costs, and lack of structure. The pre-sale managed to raise $32 million for the token price that currently stands at $0.0136, and the opening of the staking Part is a high annual return for the first participants. It includes a stable bridge for BTC transfers and fast, low-cost transactions aimed at supporting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on the Bitcoin network.
