What to know:

  • Bitcoin (BTC) rose to just shy of $76,000 in morning U.S. trade on Tuesday, its highest level since the Feb. 5 crash that sent prices plunging to $60,000.
  • Optimism over developments in the Middle East sparked a sharp decline in oil prices and rallies across risk markets.
  • The next test for the crypto rally comes at current levels, said one analyst.

Bitcoin reached $75,900 during trading Tuesday morning in the U.S., a price it hasn’t seen since before February 5th, when it dropped to $60,000.

Positive news regarding the situation in Iran is boosting investments in riskier assets and causing oil prices to fall. The Nasdaq rose 1.2%, and the price of WTI crude oil dropped 6% to $93 a barrel.

Stocks related to cryptocurrency also saw gains today. MicroStrategy (MSTR) increased by 7.6%, Coinbase (COIN) rose 6.2%, Circle (CRCL) jumped 11%, and Galaxy Digital (GLXY) went up 8.3%.

Companies that used to focus on Bitcoin mining are increasingly shifting towards building data centers for artificial intelligence, and their stock prices are reflecting this change. Keel Infrastructure (formerly Bitfarms), saw a significant jump of 20.5%, while MARA Holdings rose 5.8% and Hut 8 increased by 4.8%.

Overall market conditions are improving, which is helping digital assets. The Nasdaq recently hit a high not seen since February, and ether (ETH) has risen more than bitcoin, signaling that investors are currently more willing to take risks, according to Joel Kruger, a market strategist at LMAX Group.

According to Kruger, the market is starting to bounce back after a period of inactivity. He noted that technical indicators are looking better and more investors are participating.

The crypto market’s recent gains now face a critical test. According to Kruger, the $76,000 price point for Bitcoin – where the price previously stalled in mid-March – is a major hurdle it needs to overcome.

Breaking above a certain price point, combined with continued strength in Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, will be crucial to see if the recent recovery can turn into a lasting upward trend, according to the analyst.
