TL;DR:

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe projects a price target between $80,000 and $85,000 by the end of this month.
 Bitcoin recorded a 5% increase in 24 hours, accompanied by an explosive 90% surge in trading volume.
 The technical floor is established at $72,000, a level that suggests a 70% probability of reaching new highs.

The digital asset market is showing signs of renewed strength following a widespread recovery. Experts suggest that Bitcoin could surge to $85,000 before the end of April, fueled by the recent positive performance of Ethereum and broader market sentiment.

#Bitcoin aims to attack the highs and is consolidating around $75K.

If it blasts through $75K with volume, we’ll be in for $80-85K this month, as that’s where the higher timeframe resistances are.

In the last trading session, the pioneer cryptocurrency’s trading volume skyrocketed by 90% as the price held steady above the $74,500 barrier. This technical move places the asset within striking distance of key historical resistance levels.

Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, argues that the necessary trigger is a high-volume breakthrough of $75,000. Surpassing this level would clear the path toward the supply zone located in the upper price ranges. Furthermore, stability in global financial markets is acting as a favorable tailwind. Reduced geopolitical tensions are allowing capital to flow back into “risk-on” assets.

Key Resistance and the Altcoin Effect

Looking ahead to the coming weeks, the $72,000 zone stands as the fundamental psychological and technical floor. As long as Bitcoin’s price remains above this figure, the bullish structure is expected to remain intact.

It is also noteworthy that analysts foresee a multiplier effect within the altcoin sector. Estimates suggest that altcoins could outperform Bitcoin’s growth by a factor of two or three. Consequently, capital flow appears to be following the traditional rotation pattern—moving from the market leader toward lower-cap coins—potentially sparking an extended phase of euphoria across the entire ecosystem.

The combination of a stable macro environment and solid technical indicators points toward an optimistic monthly close. Reaching the $85,000 target would represent a return to price levels not seen since January.
