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.
