Bitcoin has seen a significant surge in its price recently, causing excitement among investors who had experienced a downturn in the cryptocurrency market. After reaching a record high of around $109,000 on January 20, 2025, Bitcoin faced a correction that saw its price plummet to just over $76,000 by March 10. However, recent patterns suggest that the cryptocurrency may have found a bottom, with a higher low recorded at around $81,000 on March 31. This development has sparked optimism that an upward trend could soon follow, particularly if stock prices also begin to rise.
Historically, April has been a favorable month for Bitcoin. For instance, in 2019, the cryptocurrency began a remarkable rally on April 1, which led to a 220% increase. Similarly, after the market crash in March 2020, Bitcoin surged by approximately 900% starting in April 2020. The most notable rally occurred between April and December 2017, during which Bitcoin skyrocketed by nearly 1,900%. While such explosive growth is not anticipated this year, analysts at BÖRSE ONLINE maintain a bullish price target of $150,000 to $180,000 for Bitcoin by the end of 2025, citing the current year as potentially the strongest in the four-year market cycle.
Despite the optimism, external factors could hinder Bitcoin's recovery. The Trump administration has introduced uncertainty in the stock market, which historically has impacted cryptocurrency prices. However, the administration remains engaged in the crypto sector, with recent reports from the Wall Street Journal indicating that Eric and Donald Trump Jr.'s American Data Centers are set to merge with American Mining, potentially bolstering interest in Bitcoin.
A recent study by the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management highlighted significant cost differences in crypto trading across Germany. The study revealed that flatex emerged as the most favorable provider, offering Bitcoin roundtrips at only 1.1% for purchases and sales of €500, €2,000, and €10,000. In contrast, competitors' costs ranged from 2.1% to 5.3%. Professor Olaf Stotz, who led the study, emphasized the importance of understanding trading costs, as they can significantly impact long-term returns for investors.
As of April 2, tariffs announced could pose a threat to the upward momentum of Bitcoin, and analysts suggest that overcoming the $90,000 mark would provide a stronger confirmation of the higher lows. The volatility of the crypto market means that investors must remain vigilant and informed about both market trends and external influences.
