Bitcoin price jumped 2.5% today after President Trump confirmed an extension of the Iran ceasefire, and the market moved exactly as the prediction suggests. BTC touched $77,500 in early Asia trading, its highest print since Friday’s two-month peak of $78,300.

Equities are mirroring, S&P 500 down by 0.5% on last night’s close, erasing $500 billion in the process. Ether climbed as much as 2.5% too, tracking BTC tick for tick. Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows have been providing a consistent institutional bid beneath recent price action, and today’s geopolitical relief added the external catalyst.

“Crypto has been in a bullish mood in the past few weeks, often shrugging off bad news and climbing on good news,” said Caroline Mauron, co-founder of Orbit Markets.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: $80,000 This Week
Wednesday’s spike put BTC back inside a decisive range. Most prediction projects Bitcoin at $75,000 over the next 10 days, with a weekly forecast of $77,300, which puts the current price bullish. More optimistic predictions have April 22 ceilings as high as $85,800, though that sits well outside the technical consensus.
The critical levels are clean. Paul Howard, senior director at Wincent, put it plainly: $72,000 is the key support zone, and $79,000 is where profit-taking has repeatedly capped the rally. But $75,000 should hold as a solid floor, and a clean close above $80,000 would “unlock significant further upside.”
Technically, RSI sits high neutral at the 50 area, while the EMA composite leans bullish with 11 of 23 tracked indicators flagging buy signals. If the ceasefire extension holds, BTC could close above $79,000 this week, and momentum funds pile in, sending it to above $80,000.
Bitcoin has outperformed gold by a wide margin since the end of February, up more than 15% while bullion dropped 10%. This is not accidental.

Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
Bitcoin at $77,500 sounds bullish. But at this market cap, the math for multiples gets harder. Early-stage infrastructure plays inside the Bitcoin ecosystem are where asymmetric upside still exists — and that’s exactly the thesis behind Bitcoin Hyper.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is positioning as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration with faster transaction throughput than Solana, paired with Bitcoin’s underlying security. The pitch addresses Bitcoin’s three core bottlenecks: slow transactions, high fees, and limited programmability.
Current presale price sits at $0.0136, with $32 million raised to date. Staking rewards are live with 36% APY bonus. The project includes a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers and high-speed smart contract execution via SVM. Institutional Bitcoin demand signals suggest the broader ecosystem is entering a higher-activity phase, which historically lifts infrastructure tokens alongside BTC.
Research Bitcoin Hyper before the presale closes.
