Crypto analyst Jordan has predicted that the Bitcoin price could rally to 
$80,000 in the short term. The analyst pointed to a February bullish trend 
that could spark this rally for the leading crypto. Bitcoin Price Eyes Rally 
To $80,000 Based On This Trend In an X post, Jordan predicted that the Bitcoin 
price could rally to $80,000, citing a bullish trend that began in February. 
This was around when BTC formed a new local low of $60,000. Since then, the 
leading crypto has rebounded to as high as $76,000. The analyst noted that BTC 
has bounced every time the price has tested support in the lower $60,000 
range. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Is Only Halfway To The Bottom And Will 
Crash Below $40,000, Here’s Why Jordan said that if the Bitcoin price can hold 
this level, then there could be a momentum push towards the $80,000 to $84,000 
CME gap. He added that it is interesting that the price has remained above key 
support levels despite the U.S.-Iran war. Crypto analyst Doctor Profit also 
indicated that BTC could rally above $80,000 in the short term. In an X post, 
he stated that he will look to enter new shorts between $79,000 and $84,000 if 
the Bitcoin price revisits that zone. He further remarked that he sees a high 
medium probability that BTC will reach this zone. However, he added that, 
given the geopolitical situation with the war in Iran, he doesn’t think the 
risk-reward is worth it to go long in hopes that BTC will rally above $80,000. 
Doctor Profit also reiterated that the Bitcoin price is in a bear market and 
that the price hasn’t bottomed yet. As such, he believes that placing short 
orders between $79,000 and $84,000 is a much safer bet with targets below 
$50,000. Not Yet Time To Buy BTC Crypto analyst CrypFlow stated that this is 
not yet the time to buy BTC, as the Bitcoin price has not yet bottomed. He 
noted that the 2-month stochastic RSI bullish cross is one signal that has 
consistently marked the best buying opportunities every cycle. The analyst 
explained that under this pattern, momentum resets below 20, sentiment turns 
negative, and a bullish cross later confirms the shift. Related Reading:

Buy CrypFlow further remarked that the cross marked the start of the bull run 
in the 2015, 2019, and 2023 cycles. However, that cross has yet to happen this 
time around. He noted that the stochastic RSI is resetting again and that the 
setup is building, but that the signal hasn’t triggered, signaling that the 
Bitcoin price could still drop lower. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin 
price is trading at around $66,800, up in the last 24 hours, according to data 
from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin (BTC) faces a stark downside risk that could send prices below the 
previous bear market lows, according to a new analysis from blockchain data 
firm CryptoQuant. The firm warns that a confluence of geopolitical shocks, 
macroeconomic repricing, and fragile derivatives positioning could push the 
largest cryptocurrency as low as $10,000 in a worst‑case scenario — far 
beneath the last bear‑market trough near $15,000. Political Shock From Trump 
Speech CryptoQuant’s note comes against the backdrop of a substantial pullback 
from Bitcoin’s record highs. After peaking at roughly $126,000 last October, 
Bitcoin has retraced about 45% and has entered a months‑long consolidation 
range between $66,000 and $70,000. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Crash Ahead? 
Bloomberg Strategist Forecasts Return To $10,000 – Here’s Why The firm 
highlights recent political developments as an immediate catalyst for the 
downside potential. CryptoQuant points to President Donald Trump’s April 1 
speech on Iran as a market‑moving event that abruptly reset expectations. By 
signaling the possibility of intensified military action within the coming 
weeks, the speech undermined hopes for de‑escalation and prompted a broad 
risk‑off reaction. In CryptoQuant’s view, this was not merely a geopolitical 
scare — it forced a repricing of macro conditions that matter to risk assets 
like Bitcoin. As oil prices rise, inflationary pressures can return; a firmer 
dollar tightens dollar liquidity globally. CryptoQuant notes rising volatility 
— with the VIX near 25 — and widening Treasury spreads, both of which are 
symptomatic of deteriorating liquidity. Three Possible Bitcoin Outcomes 
CryptoQuant lays out a range of possible outcomes. In a moderate stress event, 
the firm estimates Bitcoin could fall from the $70,000 area to roughly $50,000 
— a 25–30% decline. If Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows continue 
and spot demand remains soft, the medium‑term downside expands substantially, 
with prices potentially sliding into the $30,000–$20,000 range, representing 
declines of 60–70% from current levels. Related Reading: ICBA Opposes OCC’s 
Conditional Nod For Coinbase National Trust Bank Charter In the extreme 
scenario — for example, a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz or a 
sustained major conflict — global liquidity could seize up more completely. 
CryptoQuant suggests that in such circumstances, equities could plunge more 
than 30% and oil could spike to $150–$200 per barrel, conditions that could 
drive Bitcoin toward the $10,000 mark, an 85% drop from current trading 
prices. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com
