Bitcoin reached $75,900 on April 14, 2026, its highest since the February 5 crash to $60,000, fueled by Middle East optimism lowering oil prices and boosting risk assets. Crypto stocks and miners rallied sharply, with analysts eyeing $76,000 resistance for a potential bullish breakout.

Bitcoin hits $75,900, highest since Feb. 5 crash to $60K
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Bitcoin reaches $75,900, its highest since the February 5 crash to $60,000. Middle East optimism, including the Iran war, lowers oil prices 6% to $93 and rallies risk assets like Nasdaq up 1.2% and crypto stocks. Ether outperforms Bitcoin. Miners gain amid AI shifts. Analysts see $76,000 resistance signaling potential bullish trend.

Bitcoin rose to just shy of $76,000 in morning U.S. trade on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, marking its highest level since the February 5 crash that plunged prices to $60,000. The cryptocurrency touched $75,900 in mid-morning trading.

Optimism over developments in the Middle East, including the Iran war, sparked a sharp decline in oil prices and rallies across risk markets. The Nasdaq climbed 1.2%, while WTI crude fell 6% to $93 per barrel. Crypto-related stocks advanced: MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose 7.6%, Coinbase (COIN) 6.2%, Circle (CRCL) 11%, and Galaxy Digital (GLXY) 8.3%.

Bitcoin miners, many shifting to AI-related data center buildouts, saw strong gains. Keel Infrastructure (KEEL), formerly Bitfarms, surged 20.5%, followed by MARA Holdings (MARA) at 5.8% and Hut 8 (HUT) at 4.8%. Ether outperformed bitcoin amid the risk-on tone.
Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group, noted improving technicals and broader participation signaling market re-engagement. He identified $76,000 as key resistance, where a mid-March rebound stalled. A decisive break above, with sustained ether strength, could signal a durable bullish trend.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
