Bitcoin price (BTC) traded around $78,100 on Wednesday after President Trump extended the U.S. ceasefire with Iran, easing near-term escalation risks and helping stabilize risk assets. The move has put the $80,000 level back into focus for BTC, while reviving attention on projects tied to Bitcoin network utility, including Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER).
Trump said the extension reflected Iran’s “seriously fractured” government and followed requests from Pakistani mediators. The U.S. naval blockade remains in place, but the immediate threat of further military escalation has receded for now.
Against that backdrop, Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer 2 project targeting mainnet launch next quarter, said its presale has now raised more than $32.47 million.
The U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension was announced as the original two-week pause was about to expire. Trump said Iran had not produced a unified proposal to end hostilities with the U.S. and Israel, while instructing the military to stay ready even as further action was delayed.
Iranian state media dismissed the step as a tactic to buy time, but markets responded positively. Equities and crypto both found support as traders priced in a lower likelihood of immediate escalation of conflict.
Bitcoin is up 2.5% over the past 24 hours, and a decisive push above $80,000 now appears within reach. Longer-term technical readings cited by market participants also point to the possibility of a move toward $100,000 or higher if the recovery holds.
Historical Bitcoin Price Pattern Keeps $100,000 in View
On April 20, Michaël van de Poppe said on X that Bitcoin has historically made a fresh all-time high within 12 months of corrections on a scale similar to those seen between October and February. In comparable periods, BTC traded 30% to 60% above its recent low within three to six months.
In his view, that would leave $100,000 in play in Q3 2026.
Statistically, after such a correction of #Bitcoin, a new ATH is made within 12 months.
Within 3-6 months, on every occassion of such an outlier, Bitcoin was trading 30-60% higher than the low.
That would put $100K on the map in Q3 of 2026.

With macro pressures easing, that outlook has regained relevance. It also helps explain why investor focus is broadening from Bitcoin price action alone to infrastructure that expands what BTC can do on-chain.
Bitcoin Hyper Pitches Faster Bitcoin Transactions Ahead of Q3 Mainnet
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is being marketed as a dedicated Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the Solana Virtual Machine. The project says it is designed to offer near-instant transaction speeds and low fees while using trust-minimized bridges and periodic settlement to Bitcoin.
Its stated goal is to make Bitcoin more practical for staking, decentralized trading, dApps, and payments, areas where the base network has long faced limitations tied to throughput and transaction costs.

The HYPER token is intended to support network fees, governance, and staking rewards. The project lists a fixed total supply of 21 billion tokens, with allocations for development, treasury, marketing, rewards, and listings.
Staking is available during the presale, with an indicated APY of about 36%.
According to the project, the presale has passed $32.47 million, with the token currently priced at $0.0136789. The timing coincides with improving Bitcoin sentiment and the project’s planned Q3 mainnet rollout.
Presale Access and Payment Options
To participate, users can go to the official Bitcoin Hyper website, connect a compatible wallet such as Best Wallet or MetaMask, and buy HYPER using ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, or other supported cryptocurrencies. The project also says purchases can be made with a bank card.
Best Wallet is also promoted as a mobile option for accessing the sale through its Upcoming Tokens section, with the app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
The current presale price remains $0.0136789, with the next increase scheduled for later today.
