Bitcoin price prediction 2026: Experts see 62% chance of rally above $90,000 amid strong market momentum
Bitcoin price is rising again and many experts think it can reach $90,000 in 2026. The market is getting support from big investors and better global news. Crypto demand is growing and prices are moving up slowly. However, some risks still remain....

Bitcoin has already gone up about $7,000 (around 10%) in just 13 days, according to MarketPulse analysis. This shows strong momentum is building again in crypto. Bitcoin recently reached around $77,541 on April 22, 2026, as cited by FinanceMagnates. It is up 2.2% in one day and 4.3% in one week.
Other cryptos are also moving
Ethereum has climbed back near $2,400 levels. Ethereum gained about 0.7% recently. Other coins like XRP and Dogecoin are also rising slowly. But big coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum are still getting the most attention.Big reasons why crypto is going up
One major reason is improved global situation (less war tension). Donald Trump extended the Iran ceasefire, reducing market fear, as reported by FinanceMagnates. This removed risk around the Strait of Hormuz oil route. Another big reason is a massive Bitcoin purchase by Michael Saylor’s company, as noted by FinanceMagnates. His company bought $2.54 billion worth of Bitcoin. This purchase alone absorbed 3x the monthly Bitcoin miner supply. Crypto funds also saw $1.4 billion inflow in one week. This shows big investors are coming back.Market technical signals look strong
Bitcoin has broken out of a 2-month sideways trend. It is now testing a key breakout level near $79,000. Bitcoin is also moving above its important $75,000 support level. This gives control back to buyers (bulls).If Bitcoin breaks $80,000, it can move higher faster. Next big resistance is between $90,000–$95,000. Then comes $98,000–$100,000 major resistance zone. If things go very bullish, Bitcoin could even test all-time highs near $124,000+.
If Bitcoin fails to break $80K, traders may start booking profits. A fall below $76K–$72K support zone could weaken momentum. Worst-case downside could go near $60,000, according to FinanceMagnates analysis.
Crypto still linked to stock market
Crypto is still moving similar to tech stocks like Nasdaq. If stock markets fall, crypto could also fall. Big question here is will Bitcoin act like a safe asset or risky asset in future?Upcoming peace talks could impact crypto direction. If talks fail, markets may become unstable again. Traders are watching if Bitcoin stays strong during global stress. Total crypto market is rising again and staying above February lows. The market needs to cross $2.65 trillion total value for a stronger rally. Right now, momentum is positive but still needs confirmation.
Analysts say holding above $76K zone opens a path to $90K+, according to Joel Kruger (LMAX strategist), via FinanceMagnates. If momentum continues, Bitcoin could soon enter a new bullish phase.
Therefore, bitcoin is rising fast again with strong support from big investors and global news. Market believes there is a high chance it crosses $90,000 this year, according to The Kobeissi Letter. But key levels and global events will decide if the rally continues or not, as per news reports.
