Bitcoin Poised for Major Breakout: $90,000 Target in Sight as Market Volatility Subsides
Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of a potential breakout, with analysts eyeing the $90,000 mark as its next major target. After a period of volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, including the US trade tariff war, BTC has stabilized within the $83,000-$86,000 range. The cryptocurrency recently rebounded from a sub-$80,000 correction earlier this month, fueled by the US President’s decision to pause tariffs on over 75 countries for 90 days. This development has injected Optimism into the market, with traders anticipating BTC’s ’next big move’ as early as next week. The pause in tariffs has alleviated some macroeconomic pressures, allowing Bitcoin to regain its footing above $80,000. As the market digests these developments, all eyes are on whether BTC can sustain its momentum and reclaim new highs.
