BTC Price Prediction on Bullish Coin; Has the Selloff Been Exhausted?

Bitcoin is bullish after two days of strong gains and may be able to use that trend to push much higher.

The BTC rate increased rapidly this week as conflict continued in Iran.

Quick overview

  • Bitcoin surged to a price of $73,984, marking a 4-week high and a 2.39% increase in 24 hours.
  • The easing of selling pressure and positive market sentiment have attracted investors back to Bitcoin.
  • With nearly $10,000 in gains over the past week, analysts are optimistic about Bitcoin's potential to reach $100K soon.
  • The $74,000 level is critical for Bitcoin's trajectory, as it could determine whether the coin continues to rise or falls back to lower levels.

Bitcoin continued to break away from the bears’ control on Thursday with strong gains that pushed it to a price of $73K for the first time in weeks.  

Bitcoin is trending higher and may make a push to $100K soon.

With the price firmly above the $70K level, Bitcoin is now wooing investors back with its strong performance and the potential for incredible gains. Analysts have been predicting for weeks that the coin would expend its selling pressure and would move from selloff to buying trends.

Bitcoin Headed Back to $100K?

With gains of nearly $10,000 in less than a week, Bitcoin’s chances of hitting $100K again soon are promising. Strategy (MSTR) has been increasing their investment into the coin, and other whales have helped to push the digital currency high this month off the strength of positive momentum. While conflict continues in the Middle East between Iran and the United States and its allies, the cryptocurrency market has been increasingly volatile but overall bullish.

Bitcoin hovered near $63,000 last week but has recovered nicely since then. News of fighting in Iran has seemingly helped the coin gain upward momentum at a time when the stock market is swinging between highs and lows and the oil market is bullish. In seven days, Bitcoin has gained 8%, and the coin is nearing $74K, where it is likely to meet some resistance.

That $74,000 level is crucial for the coin, because that was where it stalled in 2024 when ETFs helped Bitcoin rally. This was the same level that served as the bottom for the coin in early 2025 as well, so it plays more than just a psychological role in the coin’s path back to $100K.

This week will be vitally important in setting the tone and determining trends for Bitcoin in the coming weeks. If it can move beyond $74k and stay there, then the likelihood of a move to $100K soon is much more certain. If it falters, though, then we may see a drop again to $63,00 or below.
