イラン停戦後のビットコイン価格3つのシナリオ
— By Tony Rabbit in Crypto

強気、中立、弱気?停戦結果に基づく3つのシナリオを分析。
Bitcoin is sitting at $72,700 after the explosive ceasefire rally, and every trader on the planet is asking the same question: what happens next? The US-Iran ceasefire removed the biggest source of fear from global markets, but a two-week pause in fighting is not a peace deal. The real test comes on April 10 in Islamabad, where negotiations will determine whether this rally has legs or whether it was just a dead cat bounce in a larger downtrend.
In this analysis, we break down three realistic scenarios for Bitcoin's price over the coming weeks. Each scenario includes probability estimates, key price levels to watch, the catalysts that would trigger it, and - most importantly - how to position your portfolio for each outcome.
Whether you are a long-term investor or an active trader using TradingView to scalp moves, understanding these scenarios will help you make better decisions when the headlines start flying.
The Current Setup - Where We Stand
Before diving into scenarios, let us establish the baseline. Bitcoin surged over 5% to $72,700 on the ceasefire news. Oil crashed 10% to $95 per barrel. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index jumped from 12 (Extreme Fear) into the low 30s. Over $595 million in positions were liquidated, with shorts taking 71% of the damage.
On the macro side, the ceasefire is a two-week agreement covering air strikes, naval operations, and proxy engagements. Formal negotiations are scheduled for April 10 in Islamabad. Both sides have named envoys, and Pakistan is serving as a neutral mediator.
The critical thing to understand is that markets are now pricing in optimism. The fear premium that had been dragging Bitcoin down has largely evaporated. This means any negative surprise will hit harder than any positive surprise will lift. That asymmetry shapes all three scenarios below.
Scenario 1: The Bullish Breakout (35% Probability)
Price Target: $80,000 - $85,000
This is the scenario every Bitcoin bull is hoping for, and it is more plausible than most bears want to admit. Here is what needs to happen for Bitcoin to push into the $80,000-$85,000 range over the next 2-4 weeks.
What Triggers the Bullish Case
The April 10 negotiations produce a tangible result. This does not need to be a full peace deal. Even a ceasefire extension to 60 or 90 days would be enough to shift market sentiment from "temporary relief" to "genuine de-escalation." If both sides agree to a framework for continued talks, markets will interpret that as a major reduction in tail risk.
Oil continues falling. If crude drops from $95 toward $85-$88, it sends a powerful signal that the war premium is being unwound. Lower oil means lower inflation expectations, which means the Federal Reserve has room to signal rate cuts. This is the macro catalyst that could push Bitcoin past $80,000.
Institutional flows resume. Before the conflict escalated, Bitcoin ETFs were seeing consistent inflows. That money dried up during the fear phase. A sustained ceasefire would bring those flows back, and ETF inflows create persistent buying pressure that is different from speculative trading.
Key Levels for the Bullish Scenario
The first major resistance sits at $73,500. This is the previous local high from before the conflict escalated. A weekly close above this level would be the first confirmation that bulls are in control. Above that, $76,200 is the next significant resistance where a large cluster of sell orders has been sitting for weeks.
If Bitcoin clears $76,200, the path to $80,000 becomes relatively clean. There is minor resistance at $78,000, but the real magnet is the psychological $80,000 level. Breaking above $80,000 with volume would likely trigger another round of short liquidations that could push price to $83,000-$85,000 in a matter of days.
If you are practicing day trading during this scenario, the breakout above $73,500 is your entry signal. Set your stop loss below $71,000 and target $76,000-$78,000 for the first take-profit level. Let a portion ride toward $80,000 with a trailing stop.
How to Position for the Bullish Case
Increase your Bitcoin allocation gradually, not all at once. Use a DCA approach where you buy a fixed amount every few days rather than trying to time the perfect entry. If you are sitting on a large cash position, consider deploying 30-40% immediately and spreading the rest over the next two weeks.
For Ethereum and altcoins, the bullish scenario would be even more explosive. ETH typically moves 1.3-1.5x Bitcoin's percentage gains during sustained rallies. Mid-cap altcoins with strong fundamentals could see 20-40% gains. However, stick to quality names and avoid chasing low-cap speculation.
Make sure your trading infrastructure is ready. Set up your charts and alerts on TradingView so you can react quickly to breakout confirmations. If you trade on Bybit, make sure your account is funded and your order types are set up before the move happens.
Scenario 2: The Range-Bound Chop (40% Probability)
Price Range: $70,000 - $78,000
This is the most likely outcome and also the most frustrating one for traders. In this scenario, Bitcoin settles into a wide trading range as markets wait for clarity on the negotiations. Neither bulls nor bears gain a decisive advantage, and the market grinds sideways with occasional spikes in both directions.
What Triggers the Neutral Case
The April 10 negotiations are inconclusive. Both sides show up, talk for a few days, and issue vague statements about "productive discussions" and "continued dialogue" without any concrete agreements. The ceasefire technically holds, but there is no extension announced and no framework for a lasting deal.
Oil stabilizes in the $90-$98 range. Not crashing further (which would be bullish) but not surging back above $100 (which would be bearish). This creates a macro environment where the inflation picture is unclear, and the Federal Reserve stays in "wait and see" mode.
Bitcoin ETF flows are mixed. Some days see inflows, some days see outflows, with no clear trend. Institutional investors remain cautious, keeping large allocations on the sidelines until the geopolitical picture clarifies.
Key Levels for the Range-Bound Scenario
The $70,000 support level becomes critical in this scenario. Every time Bitcoin dips to this level, buyers step in because it represents the pre-ceasefire price. As long as $70,000 holds, the overall structure remains bullish-leaning.
On the upside, $75,000-$76,000 acts as a ceiling. Multiple attempts to break above this level fail, creating a pattern of lower highs and higher lows that eventually resolves in one direction. The range narrows over time, building energy for a larger move.
This type of price action is where most traders lose money. They buy near the top of the range expecting a breakout, then sell near the bottom expecting a breakdown, getting chopped up in both directions. Understanding slippage becomes even more important during choppy markets because liquidity can be thin at range extremes.
How to Position for the Neutral Case
The range-bound scenario actually offers excellent opportunities if you approach it correctly. The strategy is simple: buy near $70,000-$71,000 and take profits near $75,000-$76,000. Repeat until the range breaks.
This is where having a proper portfolio management strategy pays off. Instead of going all-in on a directional bet, keep 40-50% of your portfolio in stablecoins during the range. Deploy capital at the bottom of the range and pull it back at the top. It is boring, but it is profitable.
For longer-term investors, the range-bound scenario is actually fine. Use the time to accumulate at good prices. Every dip to $70,000-$71,000 is a buying opportunity if your time horizon is 6-12 months. Continue your DCA strategy regardless of short-term price action.
Consider using this period to explore passive income opportunities in crypto. If Bitcoin is going to trade sideways for weeks, you might as well put your holdings to work earning yield rather than just sitting in a wallet.
Range Trading Tip: Set limit orders at both ends of the range rather than using market orders. Limit orders at $70,500 (buy) and $75,500 (sell) will get you better fills than chasing price with market orders. Patience is the edge in a range-bound market.
Scenario 3: The Bearish Breakdown (25% Probability)
Price Target: $58,000 - $62,000
This is the scenario nobody wants to talk about, but responsible analysis requires it. A 25% probability is not small. If you flip a coin twice and it lands on heads at least once, that is roughly the same odds. You need to be prepared for this outcome even if you do not think it is the most likely.
What Triggers the Bearish Case
The ceasefire collapses before April 10. If either side violates the terms - whether through air strikes, naval provocations, or proxy attacks - the ceasefire unravels and the conflict re-escalates. All the fear that was removed from the market comes rushing back, amplified by the disappointment of dashed hopes.
The April 10 negotiations fail dramatically. If one or both sides walk out, or if there are preconditions that make talks impossible, markets will price in a prolonged conflict. This would send oil surging back above $105-$110, which would reignite inflation fears and crush risk assets.
A second front opens. If the conflict expands beyond the current theater - for example, if Hezbollah escalates in Lebanon or if there are attacks on Gulf state infrastructure - the entire geopolitical risk calculation changes. Markets would need to price in a regional war rather than a contained bilateral conflict.
Key Levels for the Bearish Scenario
The first line of defense is $70,000. If Bitcoin closes a daily candle below this level, it signals that the ceasefire rally has fully reversed. Below $70,000, the next major support sits at $67,500, which was the local low before the ceasefire announcement.
If $67,500 breaks, the floor opens up. The $63,000-$65,000 zone has some structural support from the 200-day moving average, but in a panic sell-off driven by geopolitical escalation, technical levels often fail. The ultimate downside target in this scenario is $58,000-$62,000, which represents the pre-rally accumulation zone from earlier in 2025.
A drop to $58,000 would represent a roughly 20% decline from current levels. While that sounds dramatic, Bitcoin has made larger moves in shorter timeframes multiple times in its history. The leveraged nature of the current market means that a cascade of long liquidations could easily push price to these levels.
How to Position for the Bearish Case
First and foremost, protect what you have. If you are holding significant crypto positions, make sure they are stored in a cold wallet rather than on an exchange. During geopolitical crises, exchange volumes spike and platforms can experience outages at the worst possible times.
Consider taking some profits now. If you rode the ceasefire rally, locking in 20-30% of your gains is prudent risk management. Learn the best approaches to sell crypto strategically rather than panic-selling during a crash. Having a plan before the move happens is what separates professionals from amateurs.
Keep a cash reserve ready. If Bitcoin does drop to $58,000-$62,000, it would represent one of the best buying opportunities of 2025. The fundamentals of Bitcoin have not changed. The halving supply dynamics are still in play. Institutional adoption is still growing. A geopolitical sell-off would be a temporary event creating a long-term opportunity.
Set price alerts on TradingView at $70,000, $67,500, $65,000, and $60,000. If these levels start breaking, you want to know immediately so you can execute your plan rather than discovering the move hours after it happened.
The Cross-Scenario Strategy
Here is the reality: nobody knows which scenario will play out. Not the analysts, not the whales, not the market makers. Anyone who tells you they know with certainty what Bitcoin will do next is either lying or delusional. What separates successful traders from unsuccessful ones is not prediction accuracy - it is preparation.
The optimal strategy accounts for all three scenarios simultaneously. Here is a framework that works regardless of which direction the market takes.
The Barbell Approach
Core position (50% of your crypto allocation): Long-term Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings that you do not touch regardless of short-term volatility. These are stored in cold storage and represent your multi-year thesis on crypto adoption. If Bitcoin drops to $58,000, you do not sell. If it rises to $85,000, you do not sell. This position is your foundation.
Tactical position (25% of your crypto allocation): This is capital you actively manage based on the scenarios above. If Bitcoin breaks above $73,500 with volume, you add to this position. If it breaks below $70,000, you reduce it. This position has defined stop losses and take-profit levels.
Cash reserve (25% of your crypto allocation): This stays in stablecoins, ready to deploy on major dips. If the bearish scenario plays out and Bitcoin drops to $60,000, this cash becomes your opportunity fund. Do not deploy it early out of impatience.
Risk Management Rules for All Scenarios
Regardless of which scenario unfolds, these rules should govern your trading decisions during this volatile period.
Never risk more than 2-3% of your portfolio on a single trade. With the potential for 10-20% moves in either direction, position sizing is everything. A single overleveraged trade can wipe out months of profits.
Use stop losses religiously. Set them when you enter the trade and do not move them. The temptation to "give it more room" during volatile periods is how accounts blow up. If your stop gets hit, accept the loss and re-evaluate.
Do not trade on leverage during geopolitical events. The $595 million in liquidations from the ceasefire rally should be a warning. When markets move 5% in an hour, 10x leverage means a 50% portfolio hit. Trade spot or use minimal leverage (2-3x maximum).
Have your exits planned before the April 10 negotiations. Decide now what you will do if talks succeed, if they are inconclusive, and if they fail. Writing your plan down forces clarity and prevents emotional decision-making in the heat of the moment.
Portfolio Allocation Summary: 50% long-term core holdings in cold storage. 25% tactical trading capital with defined stops. 25% stablecoin reserve for dip buying. Adjust percentages based on your risk tolerance, but maintain all three buckets.
What the Smart Money Is Doing
On-chain data reveals some interesting patterns. Large wallets (those holding 100+ BTC) have been quietly accumulating during the fear phase. This "smart money" accumulation continued right up until the ceasefire announcement, and these wallets have not sold into the rally. They are holding.
Meanwhile, exchange outflows have increased since the rally. Bitcoin is being moved off exchanges and into cold storage at an elevated rate. This is bullish behavior because it reduces the available supply on exchanges. When holders move coins to cold storage, they are signaling long-term conviction rather than short-term trading.
However, funding rates on perpetual futures have turned positive and are climbing. This means leveraged longs are paying a premium to stay in their positions. When funding rates get too high, it often precedes a correction as the market becomes one-sided. Watch this metric closely over the next few days.
The Timeline to Watch
Now through April 9: Markets trade on headlines and positioning. Expect moderate volatility as traders prepare for the negotiations. Any news about ceasefire violations or pre-negotiation diplomatic signals will move the market.
April 10-12 (Islamabad Negotiations): Maximum uncertainty. The market will whipsaw on every headline. This is the highest-risk period for leveraged positions. Consider reducing exposure before the talks begin if you cannot actively monitor markets.
April 13 onwards: The aftermath. One of the three scenarios above will begin to play out clearly. This is when you deploy your tactical capital based on the actual outcome rather than speculation.
For traders on Bybit and other derivatives platforms, the days around April 10 will see elevated funding rates and potentially wide spreads. Factor this into your cost calculations.
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin at $72,700 is at a genuine crossroads. The ceasefire has created a window of opportunity, but it is temporary by design. The next two weeks will determine whether this was the start of a major rally, a brief respite in a larger correction, or just the calm before a bigger storm.
The edge does not come from knowing which scenario will play out. It comes from being prepared for all of them. Build your plan now, set your levels, manage your risk, and execute with discipline when the time comes.
Secure your holdings in a cold wallet, keep your TradingView alerts active, and have your portfolio management strategy written down. The traders who survive volatile markets are not the ones who predict correctly every time. They are the ones who manage risk correctly every time.
