BTC/USD: Bitcoin Prices Flat at $94,000 as OG Crypto Seeks to Log 13% April Gain

It’s been a winning month for the flagship token and a promising start of the second quarter after a dismal first three months when its price tumbled by 25% from top to close.

🔥 Bitcoin’s April Rally Eyes a 13% Gain

• Bitcoin BTCUSD traded flat around $94,000 early Monday, steady after a big rebound in April that’s poised to lock in a 13% monthly gain. It’s been a welcome turnaround for the OG cryptocurrency after a rough first quarter, when the orange token’s prices tumbled 25% from peak to trough, rattling bullish sentiment across the board.
• The strong April showing marks Bitcoin’s best monthly performance since the year kicked off — and it puts the second quarter on much sturdier footing. A combination of factors has helped the rally stick: a broad return of risk appetite, a softer US dollar, cooling fears over aggressive tariffs (more or less, depending on Trump’s mood for the day), and the renewed narrative that crypto might benefit from favorable political and economic conditions.

🌪️ Bitcoin Fights Through the Noise

• Still, the road wasn’t exactly smooth. The flagship digital asset has chopped through plenty of headline noise this month — tariff spats, Fed drama, and shifting rate-cut expectations — but managed to hold its ground thanks to consistent demand from both institutional players and retail traders (yes, you!) betting that Bitcoin remains a prime hedge in a messy macro world.
• What’s the technical outlook? Technically, the $94,000 mark is shaping up as a new battleground. A clean move through $95,000 could open the door toward retesting the $98,000-$100,000 range — a key psychological and technical target that bulls have been eyeing since late February.

🪙 Ether Stumbles

• Other major tokens don’t have the same bragging rights, though. In April, Ethereum ETHUSD was hit hard, going all the way to a two-year low of $1,383 before paring back some of the losses. Still, the second-largest crypto is looking into a losing month, down about a percent with its price tag pinned near $1,790.
• If Ether does indeed close out another month in the red paint, it would mark its fifth monthly drop in a row, wiping out a massive 56% of its price over that time span.
