Bitcoin has surged past $79,000, and the Polymarket contract tied to Bitcoin reaching an all-time high by June 30 is trading at 3.1% YES.
Bitcoin’s move above $79,000 has pressured bearish positioning across related markets. The odds of Bitcoin dipping to $60,000 in April now appear slim, with bullish momentum overtaking earlier concerns. Price expectations for April are shifting in response to the latest price action.
For the June 30 contract, the probability of a new all-time high by then stands at 3.1% YES. The odds for a new all-time high by September 30 are 10.5%.

The move above $79,000 may reflect reduced fears of renewed conflict in the Middle East. The June 30 contract is priced at 3.1¢ per YES share; if Bitcoin hits a new all-time high by then, the payout is $1, implying a potential 32x return. The trade, however, would require confidence in sustained momentum and the absence of major market disruptions.
