Bitcoin hits weekly low on oil fears as analyst teases $10K BTC price target

Analysis warned that Bitcoin risked falling to $10,000 in the long term as BTC price action fell with US stocks thanks to oil-supply concerns.

Bitcoin (BTC) gained a $10,000 price warning as stocks took a fresh hit over oil-supply fears at Thursday’s Wall Street open.

Key points:

  • $10,000 BTC prices may return as the market struggles to hold ground, says new analysis.

  • Bitcoin and US stocks take a further beating as markets discount the odds of the Strait of Hormuz returning to “normal.”

  • Oil spikes to $114 per barrel in a volatile Wall Street open.

Bitcoin continued to field warnings from market participants over short-term and long-term price performance.

In his latest analysis, Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, even saw $10,000 coming back into play for BTC/USD.

“Before the biggest money pump in history in 2020-21, Bitcoin hovered around $10,000, and it may be reverting,” he wrote in a summary on X. 

McGlone argued that $10,000 had particular importance as the point at which Bitcoin futures markets first began trading almost a decade ago.

The volatility came as markets returned following an address to the nation by US President Donald Trump. As Cointelegraph reported, markets were disappointed by the event as Trump avoided key deescalation promises.

Kobeissi founder Adam Kobeissi called the address the “most puzzling part of the Iran War yet.”

“It began with Iran’s President stating they have “no enmity” towards Americans and ended with President Trump escalating the Iran War, the exact opposite of what we have seen over the last 2 weeks from both sides,” he told X followers. 

“It simply does not add up.”
