So is 80k by may on the way?

[philipma1957]

So we are at 77k today.

Do we get to 80k in May and stay over it.

I went for 5 baby bull will grow over 80k in may.

This is a very apt question right now.  I just looked at the chart and I'm forced to draw it newly which is no bad thing because people and markets can get stuck in a bad mood in some way.

I do think this general take in only a loose way looks bullish, certainly for a recovery of some what we have lost.  When we lose alot we can gain back alot.  Doesnt mean we keep those gains or avoid falling in future but the regain is totally fair imo.



90k is a fair upside target and if its true we have left a weekly downtrend dating back to the ATH it should mean a fair bit of momentum is available.

[philipma1957]

I am well aware we could be doing what happened in 2019 a good rally or short bull market we went from 4k late 2018 to 14k July 2019

And crashed back down to 4 k in Feb or March 2020 .


But since all I have done since fall of 2025 is stack and hodl a rally over 80k in May say 87 or 91k would be welcome to me.

With complete lunatics making moves on a global scale, anything is possible. In a few hours the price could reach $80k, and in a week it could drop below $60k. The story with Iran is far from a happy ending (if there is one).

The issue I have is no one points out


Russia
Caspian Sea
Iran. all touch and access each other.


The size of a missile in a tube see photo below

which means almost any size boat can ship a nuke to Iran on the Caspian Sea
which means for the USA to stop Iran from nukes they need to have first done formal agreements with Russia and of course Russia would need to let us check every boat on the Caspian Sea big enough to carry 1 missile.

But no one anywhere points this out.

That $80k will even happen in this month of April. Hope you know April is still far and the speed Bitcoin are now show that it may going to the be best month for holders because there is a sign that the price will cross $100k soon whichi is the prayer of some holders right now.

[lodocus]

Even though $80,000 isn’t that far looking at the price, psychologically it feels very far away to me. I don’t know if we’ll reach $80,000 in the next few days, but I think today’s pump is nearing its end. According to Bitstamp, we’ve broken above $78,300, and this could remain the record high for a few days.

And no matter what happens, I’m still bearish overall. We mustn’t forget that we’re in a bear market. I’m not getting my hopes up.

[Out of mind]

We have already entered $78k the market's run today is really surprising. If the situation we have seen in the market today can continue like this, then maybe by April the market will have the possibility of exceeding $80k.
If you are betting for May, then you will win very soon, according to the market target, we are going to reach that level. I think that in May the Bitcoin market will run more like a bull and go closer to $90k.

We are already on the way to 80k, if the current momentum if the market is sustained, then before the end of next week we will reach that target. A lot of factors are already supporting this momentum and the most notable one is the easing of tension in the Middle East through the ceasefire in Lebanon and Iran signalling willingness to open the Strait of Hormuz. The price of oil is already crashing so Bitcoin and gold are rising in response to that. Things are looking extremely good for Bitcoin and the real winners are those who did not sell under panic when the market was crashing.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Even before May, Bitcoin could reach $82k if this bullish momentum is maintained, looking at the chart from monthly timeframe I can see that there's a liquidity zone around that $80 - $85k which price is trying to fill,  after which I do not fully feel too sure of what might happen next that's why I'm picking "maybe" It might sustain above $80k which possibly could drive up to $90k by May.

No technically this is a baby bull market and will remain so until we drop  under 71.6k and stay under 71.6k

Or go full bull  if we go over 80k and stay,over it.

We dropped to just under 60k

30% up is 78k if you go up 30% and keep it that's is bull

Obviously it is weak or baby bull now do not be afraid to see if for what it is.

Also many times baby bulls are killed to make nice Veal.

So we could go back to bear.

The reason for this pump is Strait of Hormuz opened but wait.....

Strait of Hormuz was already opened around two months before  and there we were with BTC struggling under 65K, the interest rates weren't cut and all sort of financial problems. By all of sudden Strait of Hormuz become so popular that everyone beleived the opening of it, will lead in resolve all the probelms.

Soon traders will realize this and this pump may not sustain for long.

I am really happy today to see the Bitcoin market moving up, we really don't know when the price of Bitcoin will increase or decrease, I hope that if the price of Bitcoin continues to run at the speed of the bulls, it can exceed $90k in may. Patience is the key to success Those who hold Bitcoin with confidence and wait patiently for good times can profit from Bitcoin in the future. The volatility of Bitcoin growth suggests that the price of Bitcoin will exceed $80k in may and you can win.

[BitMaxz]

No one knows, but I think $80k is achievable even within this month.

We are still on an uptrend in the 4-hour time frame after the breakout last April 13. It seems traders support the breakout, so the chances to hit the $80k zone are possible.
However, there is a lot of liquidity between the $80k and $83k levels, so expect the market to absorb it first and then form a slight retracement but I'm not sure yet if it could be a retracement for an uptrend, but it looks like the market is filling the golden zone area for bearish retracement. Look at the image below



As you can see, $80k to $83k is between the 50% and 61.8%, a golden zone, so I don't think we are still bullish; after that, it could be a retracement unless the market breaks that golden zone area.

For now we are still bullish using the dynamic swing VWAP; there are no signs yet for bearish.

Indeed the baby bull had really been so romancing and like it is some kind of weaken volatilities but pushing the Bitcoin price gradually upwards.

The mode of the April month volatility is playfully surging at it bullish direction giving hopeful expectation remarks to see $80K in no longer time maybe by the months of May or before this month wraps up since we could see price heading to $78K at the time of making this reply.

On the neutral ground, the recent Bitcoin cycle at its peaks had triggered unusual market behaviors in this cycle making this time events difficult to determine what market we are currently in this time.

It's been long I visited this board, but on discovering that BTC has done 78k today, I decided to come see what is actually happening here. Then I chuckled when I saw this topic.

To me , my most concern is not BTC hitting 80k by May. My concern is BTC forming a strong support at $75k. That will be a better win for me.

The reason for this pump is Strait of Hormuz opened but wait.....

Strait of Hormuz was already opened around two months before  and there we were with BTC struggling under 65K, the interest rates weren't cut and all sort of financial problems. By all of sudden Strait of Hormuz become so popular that everyone beleived the opening of it, will lead in resolve all the probelms.

Soon traders will realize this and this pump may not sustain for long. 

Accepting bitcoin as toll fee in Strait of Hormuz caused the first rally but could not sustain. Not until Iran was threatened again and they stood their ground and reassured the world they are still taking fees in bitcoin. This reassurance despite threats and intimidation paved way for this second rally including too many buys by STRG.

[Marykeller]

If the market were to continue with this intensity of moving upwards, I wouldn't be surprised if the $80k price tag is met before the end of April. Where I am concerned, those who will be having fomo about the price of Bitcoin and they are investing heavily in Bitcoin and altcoins without a rethink of whether the market should decline for some time

[aoluain]

Wow, I read the thread title and straight off thought - No way!

But that was without knowing that the market is at $77k (I dont follow the market price on
a daily basis)

Before I was thinking the markets all over are not reflecting what is happening on a global
geopolitical basis so I think the trouble has yet to transfer to the markets but now we are 
at $77k I am all of a sudden feeling bullish and have send my bearish self back to hibernation.

But yea longer term if the trouble continues in middle east we could be back to bear season.

.

It's under probability to get 80k in may and stay over....The price is understandable so we can't predict with assurance that the price will reach 80k in may and stay over

The price can change at any time..because so many people didn't expect that the price will rise to 77k within this range, many were hoping the price will fall below 60k..

Let me assume that why the price is appreciating currently, it maybe as the results of the fire Iran and Israel ceased for now...I dont know if they're done with peace talk

If the peace talks between the two countries, have not been accepted by both parties, I think we dont have hope of expecting the price to increase more than 80k...

[pawel7777]

The current spike is obviously the result of the return of market enthusiasm after the announcement of reopening the Strait of Hormuz by Iran.
Usually, a spike ike this is followed by a pullback, so I don't think we will reach $80k, at least not in the next few days. That's unless the news is not fully priced in yet, but I think it is.

The reopening may not be as good news as it seems. I read that the tracking data shows a very few ships moving and Trump says the blockade of Iranian ports will continue, so the joy could be short-lasting. If the US doesn't do their part, Iran could go back to blocking the Strait, assuming they still have means to do that.
