Ethereum recently demonstrated stronger growth than Bitcoin. While Bitcoin increased by about 5% in a day, Ethereum surged over 8% – a gain almost 1.4 times larger. Experts believe this difference suggests how the entire cryptocurrency market might perform if Bitcoin continues to rise throughout April.
A Specific Price Level Is Drawing Attention
According to Michael Van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund and a popular market analyst, Bitcoin is likely to reach between $80,000 and $85,000 before the end of the month.
He predicted a price increase for X this week, citing a strengthening global market as the primary reason. When he made the announcement, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $74,500, a gain of over 5% in the last 24 hours, and trading activity had increased by more than 90% during that same time.
#Bitcoin aims to attack the highs and is consolidating around $75K.
If the price breaks above $75,000 with strong trading activity, we can likely expect it to reach $80,000 to $85,000 this month, as those levels represent significant resistance points on longer-term charts.

If Bitcoin reaches $85,000, it will return to price levels last seen in late January. Back then, the price briefly fell from around $89,000 to $84,600. Reaching $85,000 would be a gain of almost 14% from its price when this prediction was made.
Right now, the $75,000 price point is key for Bitcoin. Analyst Van de Poppe believes a strong move above this level could lead to a price increase to between $80,000 and $85,000, although historically, that range has seen significant selling. Bitcoin actually surpassed $75,000 shortly before this analysis was published.
Downside Support Gives The Bull Case A Floor
According to Van de Poppe, Bitcoin still has a good chance of reaching $80,000 by the end of April, as long as it stays above the $72,000 level. He sees $72,000 as a key support level – if the price falls below that, the outlook could change.
Bitcoin’s recent gains aren’t just about cryptocurrency. Overall global markets have begun to recover after a period of instability caused by international issues, and Bitcoin is following that same upward trend.
Altcoins Could Amplify The Move
In my analysis, one of Van de Poppe’s most significant predictions concerns altcoins. He believes they have the potential to outperform Bitcoin considerably – potentially increasing two to three times as much. For example, if Bitcoin were to gain 10%, he suggests altcoins could see gains of 20% to 30%, or even more.
Typically, money moves into the crypto market in a certain order. It usually starts with Bitcoin, then goes into well-established cryptocurrencies, and finally ends up in smaller, newer altcoins.
