Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a notable upward movement, crossing the $88,000 threshold and continuing its current trend. The cryptocurrency's recent performance represents investor optimism and demonstrates its endurance in the face of market fluctuations. Bitcoin (BTC) has made a remarkable recovery. It is currently trading at around $88,229.97, up 1.04 per cent in the past 24 hours with a 24-hour trading volume of $38.64 billion. This surge follows a significant rise from its low of $74K at the beginning of April, demonstrating its continued strength and investor confidence.
Earlier in April, Bitcoin was trading near $74,000, its lowest level since November. With its recent rising pace, one might doubt if Bitcoin is on track to surpass the $100,000 level again.

As Bitcoin continues to climb, several factors are fueling its momentum. Alankar Saxena, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Mudrex, said, “Bitcoin has recovered almost 20 per cent from recent lows due to Trump’s tariffs and economic uncertainty. The recent recovery can be attributed to a weakening dollar, easing inflationary pressures with CPI data standing at 2.4 per cent, and the return of institutional investors, all of which have injected significant liquidity into the market.”
He further added, “Investors should actively monitor the markets. Investing systematically, taking advantage of dollar-cost averaging through market volatility, helps minimise risk in the long term.”

In addition to Saxena's views on Bitcoin's recovery, Vedang Vatsa, Founder of Hashtag Web3, discusses the broader market forces that are driving Bitcoin's growth.
Vedang says, “Bitcoin’s jump above $88k shows rising investor confidence, as it’s now trading above key moving averages. At the same time, gold’s record-high prices indicate that investors are seeking safe havens, driving interest in alternative stores of value like Bitcoin.”
Will Bitcoin Reach $100k Again
Sathwik Vishwanath, co-founder of Unocoin, shares his views on Bitcoin's possibility for reaching $100,000.
He noted, “While Bitcoin is on a strong upward path, significant resistance is expected around the $92,000 to $94,000 range, where sell orders are concentrated. This may trigger short-term volatility, but the overall bullish sentiment suggests that the $100,000 milestone is still within reach in the coming months.”

On April 20th, Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, tweeted his strong belief that Bitcoin could reach between $180,000 and $200,000 by 2025.
Following Kiyosaki’s tweet, Vedang stated that while Kiyosaki’s prediction isn’t entirely unrealistic, Bitcoin would need sustained institutional investment, stable macro conditions, and favourable regulatory developments to hit those levels.
Alongside Bitcoin’s rise, several altcoins experienced marginal declines. Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 4.59 per cent to $1,637.71, with a 24-hour trading volume of $9.39 billion. Solana (SOL) fell by 1.37 per cent, settling at $139.09, while Cardano (ADA) saw a decline of 2.99 per cent, trading at $0.6260.
