Following a disastrous Black Monday, the Bitcoin price has surged past $80k, reigniting optimism across the crypto market. While BTC’s dip below $75k sparked widespread anxiety, the crypto’s resurgence has invoked enthusiasm and confidence. Analysts like Michael van de Poppe and Gert van Lagen believe that Bitcoin will continue its bullish rally.
Bitcoin Price Surges 6%, Here’s Why
After dipping below $75,000 yesterday, Bitcoin saw a significant uptrend, with its price breaking past $80,000. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto has seen a substantial hike of about 6%. Analyst Michael van de Poppe acknowledges this uptick as a “strong sign.”
In his latest X post, van de Poppe expresses his confidence in the long-term potential of the Bitcoin price. Though he remains unclear about BTC’s next move, he cited, “However, with the amount of liquidity being added, 6 & 12 months from now prices will be substantially higher.”
Notably, the sudden reversal of the last day’s negative trend is primarily driven by the speculations of the Federal Reserve’s potential interest rate cuts. Experts believe that the Fed will reduce interest rates due to the concerns surrounding Donald Trump’s tariff announcement.

As of press time, Bitcoin is trading at $79,348, marking a notable surge of 5.3% in a day. Despite this daily surge, BTC has declined by 5.5% and 7.9% over the past week and month, respectively.
