Bitcoin briefly climbed to about $85,200 on Monday, its highest level since late January, before trading near $84,300, extending a sharp multi-day rally and lifting several crypto-related stocks in U.S. premarket trading. The latest surge follows a roughly 35% three‑month gain, even though bitcoin remains down for the year and below its October 2025 record above $126,000, leaving investors reassessing whether the prolonged “crypto winter” has finally ended. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argued on CNBC that fundamentals improved during the downturn and predicted the strongest, longest crypto bull market, while BTIG analysts maintained that holding $75,000 keeps upside targets toward $90,000 intact.
