The context: after having undergone more Krachs in the first quarter of 2025 and collected a new drop following the announcement of the customs duties of Donald Trump, the Bitcoin course struggles to go up over $ 85,000. Geoff Kendrick, International Responsible for Banque’s Digital Asset Research, shared these projections for the Bitcoin course exclusively with Beincrypto. Standard Chartered’s vision for the Bitcoin course this weekend in an email addressed to Beincrypto, Kendrick underlined the recent prices among major technological actions, in particular Microsoft, as an indicator of the short-term trajectory of Bitcoin. “The best performers were MSFT and BTC. Same thing today for cash and technological term contracts, ”said Kendrick. Price performance of the magnificent 7 vs. Bitcoin and Eth. Source: Standard Chartered He explained that a decisive breakthrough of the BTC above the critical level of $ 85,000 seems likely after the announcement of non-agricultural employment figures in the United States. The Chartered Standard frame explained that a breakthrough of this order would open the way to a return to the pre-tariff on Wednesday of $ 88,500. However, the taxes announced in return by China could increase market uncertainty and lower the price in the short term. This volatility could in turn weaken the confidence of investors, thus canceling the weekend gains. Kendrick’s words precede the highly anticipated report on employment in the United States, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). This file should present a full labor market report, including added jobs, unemployment rate and wage growth. An encouraging report could thus strengthen confidence in the economy, especially if it exceeds the previous data of 151,000 jobs. This will be all the more true if it is accompanied by a stable unemployment rate of 4.1 %. A result of this order could curb gains in the Crypto market if the dollar is reinforced conversely, disappointing data, potentially below the average forecast of 140,000 jobs with unemployment exceeding 4.1 %, could arouse new fears of recession. This would then encourage investors to turn to Bitcoin and crypto in general. Standard Charterd could therefore turn to this second scenario, Kendrick stressing the growing role of Bitcoin as a keyctive. “Bitcoin proves that it is the best of technologies when the actions go up and also as a cover in several scenarios … I argued that Bitcoin is negotiated more as technological actions than as gold most of the time. At other times, and from a structural point of view, Bitcoin is useful as a tradfi cover, “he added. Recently, Standard Charterd has increasingly highlighted the strategic importance of Bitcoin within the financial markets. The bank has notably identified the BTC and Avalanche (AVAX) as likely beneficiaries of a possible crypto increase to come now that Trump’s “Liberation Day” is behind us. Beincrypto has also reported this forecast, which is now aligned with the new projection of Kendrick, and according to which institutional investors could prepare for an increase in the market. In addition, the bank positioned Bitcoin as an increasing coverage against inflation. It argued that its limited offer and its decentralized nature make it an interesting alternative to traditional shelters. Standard Charterd calls for keeping its bitcoin in the context of the growing role of bitcoin in traditional finance (tradfi), Kendrick advised investors to keep their assets. “During the last 36 hours, I think we can also add the coverage against the United States isolation to the list of Bitcoin uses,” he added. This suggests that Bitcoin could serve as a protective asset in the event of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. In parallel, the BTC/USDT daily graphic displays a critical technical configuration, the Bitcoin course is currently located around $ 82,643. An old level of support of $ 85,000 now acts as resistance, limiting the potential for the increase in crypto. The supply area nearly $ 86,508 adds additional sales pressure at this level. Bitcoin course performance (BTC). Source: downward tradingView, a key demand area between $ 77,500 and $ 80,708 provides support for the course. Despite the consolidation of the course, the relative force index (RSI) forms superior hollow patterns, indicating sustained increasing momentum and a reversal potential. If the BTC manages to recover the $ 85,000 mark, this could start a movement around $ 87,480. However, to confirm the continuation of the upward trend, the BTC must record a daily candlestick fence above the supply area of the supply area at $ 86,508. The Haussier volume profile (in blue) also supports this thesis, showing that the Bulls are waiting to interact with the Bitcoin course above the midline of the supply area. However, an inability to cross immediate resistance to $ 85,000 could lead to a new test in the request zone, with a potential break at a lower level. In the case of a directional bias of this type, a break followed by a fence below the midline of this zone at $ 79,186 could worsen the downward trend of the Bitcoin course.
