Bitcoin Still Holds Long-Term PotentialBitcoinCRYPTO:BTCUSDWillie_ColetteAs ongoing conflicts in the Middle East introduce geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds to the market—consequences that are likely to remain a central theme throughout 2026, even if the fighting were to cease immediately—they are certainly set to dominate the narrative for the second quarter. Interest rate cuts are not expected until late in the third quarter or the fourth quarter—assuming, of course, that they materialize at all. It is believed that "to propel Bitcoin's price upward toward the $90,000 mark, we would need to see a confluence of factors: a ceasefire bringing an end to geopolitical tensions, oil prices consistently retreating toward the $80 level, and—ideally—economic data that falls short of expectations, thereby alleviating concerns regarding stagflation." Analysis suggests that if Bitcoin manages to avoid dropping below $70,000 this week and holds above the $71,000 level, it could signal a continued upward trajectory for BTC, with resistance anticipated around the $74,000 mark. A breakout past this level would then set the stage for a challenge of the $75,700 level.
