Bitcoin rose more than 5% on Tuesday morning, reaching $74,901 before settling around $74,400, its highest level since March 17.

Market analyst Sam Daodu outlined a $75,000 to $80,000 range as a target if new talks produce even a temporary agreement, and a potential path toward $100,000 by year-end if a full deal materializes and oil returns toward pre-war levels near $65 to $70 per barrel.
