XRP traders watch April as open interest jumps 15%

The Bitcoin price has been trading below $100,000 for months now, and there 
has been no attempt to reclaim this level. Even now, the price continues to 
trade more than 40% below its all-time high, as massive sell-offs continue to 
push the price down. Amid this widespread selling and negative macroeconomic 
factors, a crypto analyst has revealed when they expect the Bitcoin price to 
reach the $100,000 mark again before attempting a new all-time high. End Of 
Iran War Will Drive Bitcoin Price Back in February, the United States had 
apparently carried out coordinated strikes on the Iranian military, eventually 
leading to what is now known as the US-Iran war. This move affected financial 
markets across the globe, and Bitcoin was not left out. Even now, the 
cryptocurrency market continues to feel the impact of the conflict as inflows 
have slowed down. Related Reading: Ethereum Accumulation Map Reveals Price 
Roadmap To $20,000 This negative macroeconomic climate has put a damper on the 
Bitcoin price, and investors remain wary. While the war rages on, the 
expectation is that financial assets will continue to struggle, especially as 
oil prices rise. However, the real move is expected to come in the event of a 
ceasefire. According to a pseudonymous crypto analyst, who goes by 
@RoccobullboTTom on X (formerly Twitter), the Bitcoin price will surge when 
the US-Iran war ends. The analyst explains that this will be the catalyst that 
will eventually push the BTC price back above $100,000. But When Will BTC 
Reach A New ATH? The crypto analyst takes a look at past Bitcoin performances 
in the analysis. The first of these was when the Bitcoin price had done its 
initial run from the $15,000 low recorded in 2022. Then, there was the rapid 
rise from $49,000 to $104,000 that took place in 2024. Last but not least was 
the notable 2025 rally that took the Bitcoin price to $126,000 all-time high 
of $126,000 in 2026. Related Reading: Expert Analyst Says Bitcoin Expansion Is 
Over, It Won’t Rally Until This Is Over All of these bull runs have seen the 
Bitcoin price rise more than 100% from its previous levels in order to make 
new all-time highs. Taking this into account, the crypto analyst believes that 
the next bull run could take the Bitcoin price between $150,000 and $200,000. 
Nevertheless, all of these continue to hinge on the improvement of 
macroeconomic factors. Most notably, the end of the Iran war is likely to be 
the catalyst that puts the digital asset on the way to its new all-time highs.

Crypto Trader Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Hit $100,000 Again When This Happens

Prediction markets spent years trying to present themselves as smarter, 
better, and more useful than straight-out gambling. Then sports arrived and 
did what elections, inflation contracts, and policy wagers never quite 
managed: it brought scale. They turned what was essentially a niche event 
trading activity into a mass product, and pushed the industry into a […]
