Bitcoin (BTC) price has risen nearly 5.7% in the past 24 hours and is up almost 9% on a weekly basis.
As of the publication of this article, the morning of April 14, 2026, as seen in the CriptoNoticias price calculator, Bitcoin is trading at $74,800.
The following graph shows the movement of digital currencies over the past 7 days.
In this regard, market analyst Michael van de Poppe published his views on the X account this Tuesday, April 14, 2026. According to him, Bitcoin is aiming for a higher price. If the $75,000 resistance loses on volume, The next target area will be between $80,000 and $85,000 during April.
An analyst with more than 800,000 followers on X said: Despite geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, markets are ‘turning up’, showing overall strengthreferring to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran and the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
For Van de Poppe, the decisive support level is $72,000. If that floor holds, he estimates: The probability of Bitcoin hitting $80,000 by the end of April is over 70%.
Van de Poppe’s claims are not isolated. On April 13, trader and analyst Willy Wu noted that capital inflows into BTC have turned positive for the first time since January 2026. Wu endorsed that capital inflows into BTC and crypto investment funds reached $1.1 billion between April 6 and 10, marking a bullish turn after weeks of bearish stance. He also sees $80,000 as an important test level.
Van de Poppe extended his analysis to the altcoin market (virtual currencies other than Bitcoin). He predicts that if Bitcoin rises by 10%, altcoins could rise by 20% to 30% or more.
This forecast assumes that once Bitcoin consolidates its position above key resistance levels, retail capital will move back into riskier assets. This is a move that has been repeated in previous bullish cycles, provided that Bitcoin’s movement is sustained by real demand.
Not everyone shares the optimism. Directly responding to Van de Poppe’s thread on X, financial analyst Jean-Michel Rivera questioned the soundness of the analysis.
“In a liquidity-driven environment, arbitrary percentages of probability create a false sense of security. Betting on altcoin beta 3 assumes euphoria by retail investors that current institutional market structures do not support. Capital will concentrate on core assets in search of stability, rather than seeking high-risk outlier assets. “Momentum without structural evidence is a trap for those who are overleveraged.”

And to all this, the geopolitical context adds a variable to the analysis. Yesterday, Monday, April 13th, US military begins blockade of Iranian portstightened the market. merchandise And oil prices remained above $100 before making some concessions on Tuesday amid signs of possible diplomatic dialogue.
The factors that will determine whether Van de Poppe’s bullish scenario is confirmed are specific. A breakout of the $72,000 support and $75,000 resistance with associated volume. The geopolitical context and progress in negotiations between the United States and Iran will also influence global risk appetite.
