Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC Struggles at $75,000 Again, but $85,000 Still Possible
Bitcoin is struggling around a familiar resistance level, as earlier bullish momentum has faded, but the chances of forging ahead remain.


Bitcoin is showing a familiar bullish signal, and the past few days have proved this. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap has demonstrated resilience lately, overcoming early-month setbacks to regain higher prices.

On Tuesday, it rallied to a high of $76,100, its highest price since early February. From the lows of $65,692 this month, this reflected a 15.8% price growth. Currently, BTC has retained just 8.45% of that, as its price has pulled back considerably from the high.

Buried inside a new Bitcoin security proposal is a provision that could save stragglers from losing everything.

Anyone who misses the upgrade deadline but still holds their seed phrase would have a path to recovery through zero-knowledge proof technology — a last-resort mechanism built into the final phase of BIP-361, a draft posted to GitHub on Tuesday by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and five co-authors.

The full proposal is a three-phase plan designed to protect Bitcoin from a threat that has quietly grown more serious: the eventual ability of quantum computers to crack the cryptographic keys protecting early Bitcoin addresses.

Satoshi’s Fortune At The Center Of It All
About 1.7 million BTC sits in old-style addresses known as P2PK — the kind used in Bitcoin’s earliest days. Those addresses expose public keys directly, making them vulnerable once quantum computing reaches sufficient power.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s stash alone is valued at roughly $74 billion at current prices. According to the proposal’s authors, if a bad actor gained quantum access to those coins, the damage to Bitcoin’s value and credibility could be severe.

BIP-361 builds on BIP-360, released in February, which introduced a new quantum-resistant address format called pay-to-Merkle-root, or P2MR. That earlier proposal protects new coins. BIP-361 tackles what BIP-360 left unresolved — the roughly 34% of Bitcoin’s total supply still sitting in vulnerable addresses.

The plan unfolds in stages. Three years after activation, sending BTC to old-style addresses would no longer be allowed. Two years after that, old-format signatures would be invalidated entirely.

Any coins that haven’t been moved by then would be frozen. The third phase — the rescue window — gives late movers a technical route to reclaim funds using proof of seed ownership.

Market Updates: Ripple Pilots Tokenized Bonds in South Korea, XRP Ledger Taps Boundless for Privacy Upgrade, Tether Launches Self-Custody Wallet
Global crypto markets witnessed a series of significant developments today. Ripple unveiled a bond tokenization pilot in South Korea, while the XRP Ledger announced a privacy-focused integration with Boundless. At the same time, U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs attracted strong inflows, 
and Tether launched a new self-custodial wallet.
To begin with, Ripple announced a partnership with Kyobo Life Insurance to pilot blockchain-based settlement for government bonds within South Korea’s financial system.

As part of the initiative, Ripple will deploy its custody platform, Ripple Custody, to handle the issuance, settlement, and storage of tokenized bonds.

The move targets longstanding inefficiencies in traditional bond markets, where settlements typically involve multiple intermediaries and can take up to two days. By contrast, blockchain-based processes enable near real-time execution.

If successful, the pilot could reduce counterparty risk and improve capital efficiency. Ripple also indicated that the project may expand into broader tokenized treasury operations across South Korea’s financial ecosystem.

Alongside its bond initiative, Ripple’s ecosystem is progressing on the technological side. In a separate announcement, the XRP Ledger revealed an integration with Boundless to enhance transaction privacy.

The upgrade leverages zero-knowledge technology tailored for institutional use, allowing sensitive transaction details to remain hidden while still meeting regulatory requirements.

According to Boundless CEO Shiv Shankar, the system conceals key information such as transaction size and counterparties, while enabling regulators to access necessary data through selective disclosure.

Bitcoin Hits $76K, Whale Accumulation Signals Possible Breakout
Bitcoin is making headlines today after recently touching the $76,000 level before pulling back slightly to the $74K–$75K range. The main reason behind this move is strong accumulation by large investors (whales) combined with improving macroeconomic conditions. Reports show that big holders are continuously buying BTC, which is creating upward pressure in the market. 
The Economic Times
At the same time, institutional demand is also rising. For example, companies and funds are adding more Bitcoin to their reserves, showing long-term confidence in the asset. This kind of accumulation usually indicates that smart money is positioning for a future rally. However, short-term profit-taking is also happening, which is why the price is facing resistance near $75K. 
CoinDesk
📊 Current Market Situation:
Bitcoin is currently trading around $74,000–$75,000, making this a very important resistance zone. If BTC manages to break and hold above this level, it could trigger a strong bullish momentum. According to recent data, BTC already showed a daily gain of around 5%, highlighting strong buying interest.

📈 Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If Bitcoin breaks $75K resistance, next targets could be:
➡️ $83,000
➡️ $90,000
If rejection continues:
➡️ Support levels: $70,000 – $71,000
📌 Final Insight:
The market structure is currently bullish but cautious. Whale accumulation is a strong positive signal, but confirmation will only come after a clean breakout above resistance.
