With the arrival of the deadline for the cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit to settle its $15 billion contracts in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin bulls in particular have a strong reason to rejoice, as early as this weekend or next week, with a possible $80,000 waiting around the corner.
Specifically, Bitcoin is still trading above its 2021 all-time high (ATH), with the possibility of a breakout this weekend or next week, against the backdrop of the expected expiration of $15 billion in digital assets, as the crypto analyst CryptoJelleNL noted in an X post on March 29.

Earlier, this crypto expert also highlighted that Bitcoin was breaking out of its cup & handle chart pattern, a movement that typically happens after an uptrend and suggests that the market is preparing “for a new move higher,” which in Bitcoin’s case is a “target of roughly $80,000.”

Meanwhile, the maiden crypto asset was at press time changing hands at a price of $70,140, recording a decline of 0.86% on the day but nonetheless increasing 9.19% across the past week, and adding up to the more significant 18.08% gain in the last month, according to the latest charts on March 29.

It is also important to mention that Bitcoin might be looking at even more impressive gains in this cycle, at least where crypto specialist TradingShot is concerned, deriving a BTC price prediction target at $200,o00 on the basis of the asset’s remarkable resistance and previous patterns, as Finbold reported on March 28.
All things considered, things are looking great for the future price of Bitcoin, but the cryptoverse can sometimes be a volatile place, and making a definitive Bitcoin price prediction is a difficult task, so doing one’s own research is critical when investing.
