On Monday, Bitcoin’s price rose again, approaching $78,000. Experts believe this increase was due to reduced worries about conflict between the U.S. and Iran, and growing optimism for a recovery in investments considered riskier.

After preparing for further price drops, traders are now focused on whether Bitcoin can bounce back to around $80,000, which could also lead to price increases for other cryptocurrencies.

Peace Deal Is the Macro Catalyst Crypto Has Been Waiting For

Earlier today, analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared his predictions on X (formerly Twitter) for what will happen if a peace agreement is reached in the Middle East.

As oil prices fall, so do bond yields, which is generally good for investments considered ‘risk-on,’ like stocks. Bitcoin has once again surpassed $80,000, and we can expect other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) to perform well throughout the summer.

I was starting to worry if Bitcoin would break through a crucial price level, but it looks like it finally has! That’s a really positive sign.

He believes several charts now suggest cryptocurrency prices could soon rise, which would re-establish its importance in the financial world.

The post’s timing is notable because Bitcoin’s price had fallen to just over $74,000 on Saturday morning – its lowest level in May. This dip followed renewed warnings from President Trump regarding Iran.

The price of Bitcoin quickly rebounded after Donald Trump stated that both sides were making significant progress on a lasting peace agreement, briefly reaching around $77,200 before encountering selling pressure.

As of today, Bitcoin is trading around $77,500. While this is close to its recent high of about $78,000, it’s still down around 38% from its peak price of over $126,000, which it reached in October 2025.

Meanwhile, over the past year, Bitcoin has lost about 28% of its value.

Trader Sykodelic, sharing a similar outlook to van de Poppe, believed a potential peace deal announcement this week could initially cause a price decrease before any significant upward trend.

He predicted the price would likely dip over the weekend, test the $74,000 mark again, potentially discouraging sellers, before rising as June approaches.

He also pointed out that Bitcoin finished the week with a price higher than its 50- and 100-day moving averages, a level many traders consider a sign of a strengthening market, and a key area he’d been watching for about three months.

Not Everyone is Rushing to Call the Bottom

A recent analysis by on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. revealed a potential concern: last week, approximately 18,000 Bitcoin were deposited onto cryptocurrency exchanges, while Bitcoin ETFs in the US experienced outflows of around 16,000 Bitcoin.

“ETF demand did not absorb the exchange inflow. It added to the pressure,” he noted.

I’ve been following Merlijn The Trader, and he’s predicting a short-term price target between $82,000 and $82,000. He calls that area a ‘liquidity cluster,’ meaning a lot of people who bought high are likely looking to sell there, which could create some selling pressure.

As an analyst, I’m noting he’s clearly stated his intention to open a short position here, and he’s targeting a price of $67,000 as a likely low point.

Analyst Dean Crypto Trades has previously stated that Bitcoin needs to rise back above around $80,000 – a key level marked by its 200-day moving average – and then establish a new, higher low price to confirm continued upward momentum.

If that doesn’t happen, he cautioned, the recent gains might just be a temporary rise within a larger, ongoing decline that started after the high point in October 2025.
