Bitcoin price is currently trading around $79,126, up 2% in the last 24 hours and roughly 6% in the last week. BTC is slightly outperforming the broader crypto market as the level of $80,000 comes back into focus.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe says Bitcoin value today is gaining strength again, but it’s now entering a phase where the next move could define the trend. Price action looks solid, but everything now depends on how BTC reacts around resistance.
Right now, the setup is either a breakout toward new highs or a pause before the next move.

The first level to watch is $79,000. A clean breakout here could push Bitcoin toward the $86,000–$89,000 range. That would confirm continuation and keep the rally going.
If that zone also breaks, the bigger move toward $100,000 comes into play. But this won’t be instant; it’ll likely build up step by step.
According to van de Poppe, a breakout above $84K–$87K would confirm a new higher high and likely signal that the bear market is over.
That kind of move would flip the structure fully bullish. Resistance turns into support, and the market starts building higher lows.
Historically, after drops like the move to $60K, Bitcoin usually recovers and hits new highs within a year, except for rare events like the FTX collapse. Add to that stronger macro conditions and new highs in traditional markets, and the backdrop looks more supportive this time.
If Bitcoin can’t break $79K, expect some sideways movement. A consolidation phase before another attempt is likely.
“In that case, there’s a level that I prefer to see hold: $73.5k+,” he said
Here, $73,500 becomes the level to hold. If that breaks, the structure weakens, and a deeper pullback toward lower levels could follow.
