The cryptocurrency hovers near $70,800 as of writing, off highs seen on Wednesday, but bulls are upbeat as fresh market signals point to a potential breakout.<\/p>\n<h2>Traders bet on next leg up for Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin is well off its year-to-date highs and has struggled since breaking lower in late January 2026. Bears are therefore still on the hunt.<\/p>\n<p>However, this week has investor sentiment shifting bullish, fueled by the US-Iran ceasefire and key activity in Bitcoin derivatives. Data suggests investors are eyeing a potential rally to $80,000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deribit.com\/statistics\/BTC\/options-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Options data<\/a> from Deribit, the platform that accounts for the lion\u2019s share of the global crypto options market, shows bullish bets on prices surging to $80,000 have increased.<\/p>\n<p>Call options betting on BTC climbing beyond the $80k strike price have hit $1.6 billion. This is a stark reversal from recent months when $60,000 puts, which outline wagers on price drops, dominated the outlook.<\/p>\n<p>On-chain data also supports the bullish case, with Morgan Stanley\u2019s ETF debut netting over $34 million in volume.<\/p>\n<p>Allyson Wallace, global head of ETFs at Morgan Stanley, commented ahead of the launch: \u201cThe demand, especially from the high-net-worth investors, has been quite high. Viewed at the firm level, this is an asset class that is not going away.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin price prediction<\/h2>\n<p>The crypto market began the week with all eyes on Bitcoin. Notably, BTC bounced to highs near $72,900, hitting levels last seen since March 18. The uptick saw buyers push from lows near $67,700 overnight Tuesday, April 7, amid news of a <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-recovers-as-us-and-iran-agree-a-ceasefire-deal\/\">ceasefire between the US and Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_364020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-364020\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"size-full wp-image-364020\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bitcoin-btc-price-chart.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin Price Chart\" width=\"1057\" height=\"613\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-364020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/BTCUSD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin price chart<\/a> by TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Investors buoyed by the prospect of an easing in oil prices helped BTC higher. With broader inflation concerns dissipating, a further strengthening in the ceasefire could see Bitcoin prices break to $75,000. If this happens, the next target will be $80,000 or higher.<\/p>\n<p>However, geopolitical risks remain amid a likely fragile ceasefire. If fresh attacks begin and an escalation occurs, a surge in oil prices could send risk assets plummeting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\">\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-69d4fbf7-4864-8320-9ab7-1e54f2ee7eb0-9\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-170\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e1bbe744-6280-4a52-91b5-14e752879b14\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-3\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"463\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Signs of strain in the ceasefire emerged quickly, with Iran\u2019s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accusing the US of violating the agreement, citing continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, a drone incursion, and disputes over uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"463\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">President Donald Trump maintained a hardline stance, warning of escalation if terms are breached, while limited traffic through the Strait of Hormuz highlights ongoing uncertainty over the truce\u2019s durability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"463\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cBitcoin\u2019s stress cycle is ending, but not yet reversing,\u201d CryptoQuant analysts noted early Thursday. \u201cRisk remains present\u2026 But for investors with a cycle-aware framework, the data suggests we are closer to the beginning of an opportunity than the end of one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"463\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Losses could bring BTC to support near $65k, with $60k a major demand reload zone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoin-price-forecast-as-traders-bet-on-80000-next\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin trades above $70,700 as derivatives data shows $80,000 calls dominating on Deribit.
