Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Taps $78K for 10-Week High as $820M Gets Liquidated While AlphaPepe Stage 13 Fills Past $890K

Bitcoin rallied above $78,000 to hit a 10 week high on Friday as cooling US-Iran tensions and the ceasefire extending triggered the broadest risk-on move the cycle has produced, and nearly $820 million in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in the process as shorts that had been paying minus 4.2 percent APR in daily carry for weeks were forced out in a single cascade that carried BTC through the $76K resistance the market had been testing for days. The bitcoin price prediction breakout above $76K and through $78K on $820 million in liquidations is the structural confirmation the 46 day negative funding rate bottom signal has been pointing toward since the streak broke, and the move clears the resistance that $2.8 billion in tax selling, 45 percent supply in loss, and CryptoQuant's distribution warning had been defending. AlphaPepe https://alphapepe.io/ Stage 13 fills past $890,000 raised from 7,700 holders at $0.01494 because the Q2 listing delivers the 100x math that BTC's $78K breakout from a $1.5 trillion cap cannot produce regardless of how many resistance levels the squeeze clears.

$78K 10-Week High and $820M Liquidated in One Session

The bitcoin price prediction breaking $78K on $820 million in liquidations is the largest single session upward move of 2026 and the first time BTC has traded above the $76K ceiling that defined the recovery since the first Iran peace signal landed. The $820 million in forced covering adds mechanical buy pressure on top of the organic demand the ceasefire extension and $1.1 billion in weekly institutional inflows provide, and BTC holding above $76K after the squeeze rather than giving back the gains immediately confirms the level has converted from resistance to support. Standard Chartered's $150K year end target now compounds from a confirmed $78K base, and the bitcoin price prediction for the next leg targets $80K to $88K as the post breakout range if the momentum sustains through the weekend.
