Visser: BTC Rise Begins Above 76K

Macro investor Jordi Visser stated that if Bitcoin and Ether prices break above certain levels, it could signal a trend reversal this year. Speaking on Anthony Pompliano’s YouTube podcast, Visser said that BTC breaking above $76,000 and ETH above $2,400 would mark the start of a sustainable rally, and he does not expect a recession. At the time of the broadcast, BTC price was $71,646, indicating a 6.1% increase to the mentioned level; for ETH, approximately an 8% rise is needed. Today, BTC is trading at the $77,574.60 level and has already achieved Visser’s $76,000 breakout.

Jordi Visser Identifies Critical Breakout Levels for Bitcoin and Ether

Visser predicts that in an environment where inflation remains high and the S&P 500 stagnates, investors will seek profitable assets. The probability of a 2026 recession on the Kalshi prediction market has fallen by 10% over the last 30 days to 24%. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Friday report, the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.3% year-over-year.

April 22 ETF Flows Support BTC and ETH Rally

The development supporting the breakout is the April 22, 2026 ETF flows: Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $335.8 million net inflow, while Ethereum ETFs saw $96.4 million in inflows. These flows, indicating rising institutional demand, bolster Visser’s bullish scenario. For more details, check the BTC detailed analysis.
