The leading cryptocurrency on the market, Bitcoin (BTC), hit a new all-time high of $84,000 on Monday amid increased inflows into the digital asset market and expectations for further gains in the final months of the year. This surge comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s recent victory over Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, with Bitcoin experiencing a 23% increase over the past week and a 5.5% rise in the last 24 hours. Optimism Grows For $100,000 Bitcoin Bloomberg reports that as Bitcoin hits a new record high, options traders are now targeting the $100,000 mark, speculating that it could be reached before the end of the year. Traders on options exchange Deribit are particularly active, with large bets being placed on Bitcoin reaching this milestone. A notable $100,000 call option set to expire on December 27 has garnered significant attention, with reports indicating that it has already increased in value by 30%.

According to Bloomberg, this represents the highest amount of capital riding on any single trade for that expiry date, with Deribit estimating an 18.6% probability of this trade paying off. Uptrend Linked To Anticipated Regulatory Changes Under Trump Le Shi, managing director at market-making firm Auros in Hong Kong, noted that the current uptrend in the broader market is due to a number of promises made by Trump during the election campaign. These include making Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset for the US, firing the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on his first day in office and introducing a clearer regulatory framework to support the market’s growth.

On Monday, business intelligence firm Microstrategy announced the purchase of additional Bitcoin (BTC) as the largest cryptocurrency on the market hit a new all-time high of $82,500, with increased inflows into various sectors of the ecosystem over the past week. MicroStrategy Now Holds Nearly $23 Billion In Bitcoin In a social media post by Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, the company announced that it had acquired approximately 27,200 BTC for approximately $2.03 billion. This transaction is one of the largest BTC purchases to date by a corporate entity but in line with the company’s strategy to integrate crypto into its financial framework. According to a statement released Monday, these acquisitions took place between October 31 and November 10, using proceeds from recent stock sales. With this latest purchase, MicroStrategy now holds nearly $23 billion in Bitcoin, totaling approximately 279,420 BTC with an average purchase price of about $42,692 per Bitcoin.

However, this strategy has also had a notable impact on Microstrategy’s stock MSTR, which jumped 11% on Monday as the announcement was made and is currently trading at approximately $299 per share, up from $270 the previous week. Post-Election Bull Run The current uptrend in Bitcoin’s price also coincides with a notable shift in investor sentiment following Donald Trump’s victory in the recent US presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris. According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products experienced inflows of $1.98 billion following the election, marking the fifth consecutive week of positive inflows and bringing the year-to-date total to a record $31.3 billion. Along with the largest cryptocurrency on the market, the overall global assets under management (AuM) in cryptocurrencies have reached an all-time high of $116 billion. The inflows were predominantly driven by US investors, who contributed $1.95 billion, while European markets also saw smaller inflows, particularly in Switzerland and Germany. Bitcoin alone attracted $1.8 billion of these inflows, reflecting a broader trend that has emerged since the US Federal Reserve (Fed) cut interest rates in September.

Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, noted that the bullish momentum in the crypto market is fueled by a sense of “euphoria” following Trump’s election. Streeter commented that his pledge to ‘go all in on crypto’ has sent BTC to “new, heady heights,” and ultimately believes that Trump’s shift towards supporting the cryptocurrency industry has created a more favorable regulatory environment, boosting investor confidence. In further support of this sentiment, Citi strategists highlighted that cryptocurrencies remain one of the few Trump-related trades that have not retraced. They noted that his administration’s expected crypto-friendly policies could lead to greater regulatory clarity in the US, further encouraging investment. Overall, as Bitcoin continues its uptrend, some predict that BTC could reach the $100,000 milestone by the end of the year, driven by a combination of favorable market conditions and growing institutional adoption. At the time of writing, the market’s leading crypto is trading at $82,479, up 20% in the past week alone. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
The general cryptocurrency market has seen notable upward momentum in the past few weeks, with Bitcoin, the largest digital asset, leading the market once more toward what several seasoned crypto analysts believe to be one of the biggest bull runs ever. Bitcoin Heading Toward More Higher Levels In his latest report, Doctor Profit, a market […]
Bitcoin is proving its mettle, and showing no signs of stopping. The crypto skyrocketed to a fresh record high on Monday, as investors bet that Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office will be good for the crypto industry. Related Reading: $1,400 On The Horizon? Solana Breach Of $200 Excites Analysts The world’s largest and most recognized cryptocurrency has now more than doubled from the year’s low of $38,4000 and was last at $81,405 having earlier touched a record high of $81,890, data from Coingecko shows. A day after the elections, Bitcoin hit $75k, topping its previous high of $74,797 last March. Bitcoin’s early November price surge isn’t surprising, knowing how Bitcoin and crypto have become a hot election topic. While Democrat Kamala Harris pitched her support for new technologies like AI, Trump was seen as more receptive and favorable to the Bitcoin and crypto community. Bitcoin’s latest surge pushed the asset’s market cap to over $2.7 trillion, data from CoinMarketCap show. Bitcoin Inks Another ATH, Boosts The Crypto Landscape Bitcoin’s bullish price action started last November 5th, when Trump’s numbers showed a convincing win. Earlier Wednesday, Bitcoin’s price hit $75k and soon surged to new highs until, Monday. Bitcoin’s surge also benefited the rest of the crypto industry. For example, with Bitcoin’s price ascent, MicroStrategy’s share price increased, which was confirmed with Coinbase Global. Traders’ optimism is high; even the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 ended the week in black. Trump’s Change In Bitcoin Policy Interestingly, incoming President Trump wasn’t initially keen on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. During his first presidency, Trump labeled these digital assets as scams. However, with his recent public appearances and pronouncements, Trump changed his tune and now shows massive support. In one of his campaign speeches, Trump promised to make the US the Bitcoin and crypto capital of the world. He also enjoys the support of many famous crypto personalities, including Elon Musk.

Last September, Trump and his sons and other entrepreneurs launched World Liberty Financial, a digital currency platform. However, technical difficulties and other issues marred the project’s launch. Although Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are known for their volatility, Trump has led the adoption of digital assets in recent months. Before the elections, he used BTC for retail purchases, the first US president to do so, making it a historic transaction. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView

The price of Bitcoin showed a highly positive reaction to Donald Trump’s emergence as the next US President, gaining by 9.62% in the past week according to data from CoinMarketCap. Amidst this price rally, Bitcoin established a new all-time high at $77,252 on November 8 but has since retraced by over 0.5%. Commenting on the asset’s potential next movements, analyst Ali Martinez postulates BTC may be set for significant corrections which may present opportunities for reaccumulation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stock To Flow Model Shows Price Is Ready For Next Phase Transition Above $100,000 Bitcoin Likely To Fall To $69,000 – Here’s How In an X post on November 9, Martinez predicted that Bitcoin may finally record some significant price pullback, after days of bullish uptrend triggered by US election results and the Federal Reserve’s latest decision to initiate a 25 bps rate cut. Following the premier cryptocurrency’s descent from above $77,000, Martinez explains the price movement indicates a fall from a rising wedge which is a chart pattern that signals a potential reversal in an uptrend due to converging highs and lows. If this signal holds, the popular crypto analyst predicts Bitcoin could fall to around $73,900. Albeit, intense selling pressure could cause a further decline to $71,500, with $69,000 emerging as a strong support level in a worst-case scenario. Interestingly, Ali Martinez shares he has set buy orders at all these support regions as any potential price recorrection by Bitcoin presents a good opportunity for massive purchases at lower prices. This trading strategy emerges from the general belief that the Bitcoin bull season is still in its early phase despite significant price rallies in the past few weeks. Analysts continue to postulate a six-figure price target by the end of 2024, indicating potential for magnanimous price gains in the upcoming year. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals What The Gold Chart Says About The Possibility Of Bitcoin Price Reaching $100,000 BTC Leverage Ratio Hits 2-Year High In other news, data from analytics firm IntoTheBlock shows that the ratio of Bitcoin’s Open Interest to its market cap is 5.93%, which is the highest value of this metric since the FTX collapse in November 2022. This development indicates that traders are holding a high level of leveraged positions, which can result in drastic volatility levels upon any minute price changes, thus adding to the growing sentiment around an incoming price correction. At the time of writing, Bitcoin exchanges hands at $76,740 following a 0.70% decline in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the assets trading volume is down by 44.63% and valued at $31.87 billion. However, the maiden cryptocurrency continues to retain global headlines following its 27.76% price gain in the last month, resulting in a market cap value of $1.51 trillion.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) has gained by 0.66% in the past 24 hours with its market price now hovering close to $77,000. This slight price increase compounds an impressive performance in the last month during which BTC’s value has risen by 27.82%. As the crypto bull season appears to be kicking off, the popular Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model has revealed a lofty price target for the largest digital asset. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Be Ready For ‘Phase 2’ Of This Historical Bull Pattern Why Bitcoin May Reach $500,000 In an X post on November 9, a pseudonymous analyst and developer of the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model shared a price prediction on the maiden cryptocurrency. For context, the Stock-to-Flow model is a popular market framework that forecasts BTC’s price based on projected scarcity. According to PlanB, data from this analysis model currently suggests that the crypto market leader will attain an average market price of $500,000 over the next four years with a projected price range of $250,000 – $1 million. The analyst explains that the Bitcoin bull season is still at an early stage as indicated by the red dots on the Stock-to-Flow model chart, despite the recent price rally induced by Donald Trump’s electoral victory and even the “fake-out” recorded in Q1 2024 following the Spot Bitcoin ETF launch. Aside from historical data, PlanB states multiple future events indicate BTC’s massive potential to attain the established price target. For example, the pseudonymous analyst references Trump’s intention to establish a National Bitcoin Reserve which may likely be enacted by Senator Cynthia Lummis’s proposed Bitcoin Act that will see the US purchase 200,000 BTC annually for the next five years. PlanB also highlighted Michael Saylor’s Microstrategy recently published objective to purchase $42 billion BTC by 2027. The market analyst explains that both massive acquisition programs would stimulate a high buying pressure on BTC which should translate to sharp price increases. In addition, PlanB states the Spot BTC ETFs have experienced enormous inflows, valued at $2.294 billion, since Trump’s election, which will only go higher in the coming months contributing to BTC’s demand. Importantly, the analyst kicks against doubting the Stock-to-Flow model despite Bitcoin attaining an average price of $34, 000 in the last cycle rather than the predicted $55,000 since the market model revealed a price target range of $25,000-$100,000. BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, BTC trades at 76, 745 reflecting a price gain of 11.85% in the past seven days. However, the asset’s trading volume has decreased by over 40% in the 24 hours reaching $28.33 billion.

The Bitcoin price could see its second massive breakout in this current market cycle, as a crypto analyst has predicted a peak above $150,000 for the pioneer cryptocurrency. This bullish forecast comes on the heels of Bitcoin’s previous All-Time High (ATH) this month when it surpassed the $75,000 mark. Related Reading: SEC Shake-Up: Robinhood Legal Boss On Shortlist For Top Spot—Report Bitcoin Price Peak Set Above $150k In just 2024, Bitcoin has reached three major all-time highs, making a historic move for the cryptocurrency. Earlier in March, the cryptocurrency crossed the $73,000 level, hitting a new ATH. A few days after the November United States (US) Presidential election, the cryptocurrency exceeded expectations with a massive rally to an ATH above $75,000. Today, Bitcoin just hit a fresh ATH, surpassing the $77,000 price level. Each of these ATHs were primarily spurred on by different market factors, with the March price high fueled by the launch and surging demand for Spot Bitcoin ETFs and the November ATHs triggered by the market sentiment following Donald Trump’s reelection as the 47th President of the United States. Considering these major market moves, a crypto analyst, identified as Titan of Crypto on X (formerly Twitter), has released Bitcoin’s second most critical breakout of this market cycle. Sharing a detailed chart of Bitcoin’s price movements from 2013 to the present, the analyst highlighted a projected path for BTC to reach a market peak above $160,000. The analyst predicted that the price of Bitcoin could surge between $160,000 and $230,000 by 2025. Titan of Crypto based this bullish prediction of Bitcoin’s market peak on the cryptocurrency’s historical price action. Based on the chart, the analyst showed that Bitcoin hit a “2nd breakout” between 2016 and 2018, leading to a price surge of $12,679. Similarly, in the following market cycle, Bitcoin hit another second breakout between 2019 and 2021, triggering a price increase to $50,509. With the same breakout pattern in this current market cycle, Titan of Crypto has set Bitcoin’s next bullish target and price peak above $160,000. This considerable surge represents a 109% increase from its current price of $76,559 and a 107% increase from its present ATH. Analyst Says Bitcoin Price To Hit $100k By December Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has also revealed a bullish forecast for the Bitcoin price on X. Presenting a chart comparing Bitcoin’s price action in 2023 and 2024; the analyst denoted that BTC is on track for a significant pump as it mirrors bullish moves seen in the previous year.

Bitcoin, the world’s largest digital asset, recorded significant market gains in the past week to resume an uptrend that began in early October. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Bitcoin rose by 10.58% in the past week as pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump emerged as US President-elect on November 5, followed by a 25 bps rate cut by the US Federal Reserve. With the crypto market leader recording new all-time highs each day, analyst Ali Martinez has dropped a new price target that hinges on a certain condition. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment Enters Danger Zone: Investors Now Extremely Greedy Bitcoin Must Stay Above $71,480 – Here’s Why Amidst the current Bitcoin price rally, Ali Martinez predicts the digital asset could reach a local price peak of $85,360. However, this price action can only occur if BTC’s value does not decline below $71,480 based on data from the MVRV Deviation Pricing Bands, a trading tool used to identify extreme bullish and bearish market conditions based on the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV). Martinez’s latest insight on Bitcoin’s trajectory follows a previous prediction in which the analyst forecasted the premier cryptocurrency to retrace to around $71,500 after hitting the $78,000 price mark. With Bitcoin within range of this price target following its recent tourney across $77,000, it is imperative that the market bulls prevent any potential retracement below $71,480, which may result in a further decline to $66,000 at which lies its next major resistance. Alternatively, Bitcoin is also well poised to push beyond $78,000, reaching Martinez’s target of $85,360 without experiencing any projected price pullback as market sentiments remain highly bullish due to multiple factors. Aside from Donald Trump’s resounding electoral victory which signals an incoming crypto-friendly approach by the US Government, high inflows into the Bitcoin Spot ETFs over the past weeks have also boosted investors’ confidence in Bitcoin’s continuous profitability. Nevertheless, all investors are admonished to remain vigilant as the crypto market is subject to high levels of volatility and sudden price movements. Related Reading: $13 Million Bitcoin?

According to Santiment, whenever crypto enthusiasts have been overly eager about $80,000 in the past month, Bitcoin has experienced a price retrace. Therefore, there is a need to reduce growing notions around FOMO in order to allow Bitcoin to maintain its current price rally. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $76,395 reflecting a gain of 0.49% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview

Election Euphoria Fuels Bitcoin’s Surge The cryptocurrency market is brimming with hope. Investors have long predicted that a Trump presidency would be good for digital assets. Trump’s past pessimism toward cryptocurrencies has altered considerably, and he now sees himself as a pro-crypto candidate. His campaign has even accepted cryptocurrency payments and suggested establishing America as the “crypto capital of the world.” What was the result? A rise in Bitcoin’s value has boosted shares of associated companies such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy. This rally goes beyond speculation. Bitcoin has grown due to institutional investment. More than $50 billion has gone into Bitcoin ETFs, indicating that traditional financial institutions are accepting cryptocurrencies. Analysts expect Bitcoin to hit $150,000 by 2025 if present trends continue. Record Open Interest Signals Confidence The Open Interest (OI) of Bitcoin, which is the aggregate number of outstanding futures and options contracts, has increased in tandem with its price. In the span of two days, OI experienced a significant increase of 13.29%, resulting in a remarkable $45.41 billion. The current surge suggests that traders are not merely passive observers; rather, they are actively taking measures to prepare for potential price increases. Although there are always hazards, the increase in OI is generally considered a sign of confidence in the market’s upward trend. Due to this, it is imperative to evaluate the market’s dynamics by taking into account a variety of factors. Related Reading: Binance Coin Breaks $600! Is There More Upside Ahead For BNB?

BTC’s Uptrend Another market observer predicted that there is a high likelihood that Bitcoin will increase by 30% to 40% but he does not see that the crypto will repeat the 368% hike which occurred in previous cycles. BTCUSD trading at $75,885 on the daily chart: TradingView.com Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant made the prediction after BTC hit $75,000 which he believed was influenced greatly by the results of the US election. Ju explained that it triggered the price rally to reach that level, further positioning Bitcoin as one of the largest financial assets in terms of market capitalization. Ju urged investors for subtle profit-taking during the “max pain” phases which are essential to understand the market dynamics of BTC. He said that Bitcoin follows a cyclical nature, explaining that new traders usually endure losses when the market is bearish. After two years, investors see their digital assets change hands when the “max pain” phase dies down. According to him, BTC’s current market environment matched well with an easing period.

BTC used to be in the overbought zone or a score above 70 in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart but now, it has retreated to 67.34, indicating “a loss of bullish momentum” and a potential price correction.

The recent presidential election has sent ripples through the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin prices reacting positively to Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris. As Trump prepares to take office for a second term, his ongoing commitment to making the United States the “crypto capital of the world” has ignited bullish sentiment among investors, positioning Bitcoin at the center of his economic proposals. ‘$13 Million Bitcoin Price Target Is Bearish’ Dennis Porter, CEO and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund has been vocal about the implications of Trump’s win for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency landscape. In a series of posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Porter highlighted the potential for Bitcoin to experience significant price discoveries in the coming years. He emphasized that the election outcome signals a substantial shift in the political landscape regarding cryptocurrency. Porter stated that after the 2024 presidential election, it is “abundantly clear” that Bitcoin is a “winning issue,” claiming that opposing Bitcoin support is “political suicide,” with a forecast that the United States will lead on BTC. The Satoshi Act Fund CEO believes that as the global community comes to terms with this reality, a “dramatic” acceleration in Bitcoin adoption will follow. Related Reading: CNBC Projects Bitcoin Could Hit $100,000 Before Presidential Inauguration – Details In addition to Trump’s victory, the Republican Party has secured a majority in Congress, further enhancing the prospects for cryptocurrency legislation. Porter noted that over 250 members of Congress are now pro-Bitcoin, which could facilitate a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto market to thrive. This newfound political support could lead to legislation clarifying regulations and encouraging innovation and investment in the digital asset sector. It could also pave the way for the approval and introduction of one of Trump’s key promises: to make BTC a strategic reserve asset for the country. One of Porter’s most striking comments came just 24 hours after the election when he suggested a forecast of $13 million per Bitcoin could be considered bearish. “Expect the unexpected,” he said, hinting at the possibility of even higher valuations for Bitcoin shortly. Extended Bull Run For BTC? In an update on social media, market expert Rekt Capital provided insights into BTC’s short-term price action. He highlighted the importance of a weekly candle close above $71,500, which could signal the start of a breakout from the current re-accumulation range. Rekt Capital notes that Bitcoin has been in a prolonged re-accumulation phase for over 200 days since the last Halving event, which occurred earlier this year in April. The expert points out that the historical trend suggests bullish sentiment, as Bitcoin’s cycle has dramatically reduced from an average of 260 days to just 13 days in the current post-Halving context. This reduction in cycle duration indicates that Bitcoin is in a slightly accelerated phase compared to previous cycles. However, the current rate of acceleration is not as steep as earlier in the year, particularly in March 2024, suggesting a stabilizing trend. Due to this extended consolidation period, Bitcoin has almost completely realigned with historical Halving cycles. Rekt believes this resynchronization could lead to a longer, more robust bull run than anticipated. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Rallies 10%: Will Bulls Push It Higher?

Bitcoin is currently riding the bullish wave in the midst of growing market optimism, which has caused the largest crypto asset to reach a new all-time high. However, a crypto analyst has warned that BTC’s price rally may not be favorable to late investors, suggesting a strategic approach from the new entrants in order to […]
Analyst Tony Severino has revealed that the Bitcoin price currently has a ceiling of $137,000. This has raised questions about whether this is the highest point that the flagship crypto can reach in this market cycle, and the analyst also provided some answers. Bitcoin Price Ceiling Is At $137,000 Tony Severino mentioned in an X post that the current ceiling for the Bitcoin price is $137,000, while its floor is around $39,000. He noted that investors could double their investments from Bitcoin’s current price if the crypto reached this target. Meanwhile, a decline to the current floor represents a 50% drop. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Marks Local Bottom, Can Price Run 100% From Here Again? When asked if the $137,000 was the target for the bull top, the analyst responded that his target was between $160,000 and $180,000. He remarked that $137,000 is just the ceiling as of this month and rises as time goes by. As such, his $180,000 market top target could become more feasible in the next few months. While it remains to be seen whether the Bitcoin price could reach this $137,000 ceiling or even the $180,000 bull top target, it is almost certain that the flagship crypto might never drop to the $39,000 floor again. This is based on historical trends that show that Bitcoin never falls below its pre-election level after the US presidential elections have concluded. Therefore, the next leg of the bull run has likely begun, and the flagship crypto will likely continue to hit new highs in the coming months. In an X post, crypto analyst Jelle revealed that the Bitcoin price has resumed its uptrend after seven months of sideways action. He added that it shouldn’t be long before the falling wedge pattern on Bitcoin’s chart plays with a rise to $100,000, the potential target. The Most Bullish Background For Bitcoin At The Moment Crypto analyst CrediBULL, who had before now been bearish, said that this could arguably be the most bullish background for Bitcoin, with the elections over and Donald Trump’s victory. He added that if these are the fundamentals driving the market, then the Bitcoin price is unlikely to drop to $68,000 again.

He also suggested that this might be the perfect time to become bullish on the Bitcoin price as the run to $100,000 might have begun. However, he warned that any violations of the $68,700 level would “drastically” weaken the bullish argument and strengthen the bear case further. Analyst Justin Bennett also commented on the potential Bitcoin price rally to $100,000. He said that if risk assets can survive the Fed’s FOMC meeting today, this could be the move to $100,000 everyone has waited for. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $74,800, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surged to a new all-time high of $76,800 buoyed by the recent US presidential election which saw Donald Trump secure another term in the White House and a more favorable monetary policy from the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Fed’s Second Consecutive Rate Cut On Thursday, the Federal Reserve announced its decision to cut its benchmark overnight lending rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.50%-4.75%, adding to the bullish sentiment surrounding crypto prices. This marks the second consecutive rate cut, following a half-percentage point reduction in September. The unanimous vote at this meeting, which included participation from Governor Michelle Bowman, reflects a shift in the Fed’s approach to balancing inflation control with labor market support. Related Reading: CNBC Projects Bitcoin Could Hit $100,000 Before Presidential Inauguration – Details In its post-meeting statement, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) noted a revised assessment of economic risks, indicating that the outlook for achieving employment and inflation goals is now seen as balanced, a departure from the previous month’s more optimistic stance. Crypto analyst Doctor Profit commented on the recent surge in both stock and crypto markets, suggesting that the price increases were in anticipation of the Fed’s rate cut. He predicts that continued rate cuts in the coming quarters could further drive up prices for both stocks and cryptocurrencies. Positive Trends For Bitcoin And Ethereum Post-Election In an exclusive interview with NewsBTC, Nansen’s Principal Research Analyst, Aurelie Barthere, highlighted that Bitcoin rise above its previous all-time high, coupled with high trading volumes, signals a strong positive momentum in the market. The analyst noted a period of “de-risking” in the run-up to the election, likely influenced by unfavorable polls for Trump, but observed a subsequent rush to “re-risk” as confidence returned following the election result, further evidenced by the rise in prices. Related Reading: Solana Breaks Above Key Resistance – Top Analyst Sets $300 Target Barthere also pointed out that the Republican victory in the House of Representatives could further amplify this rally. However, she cautioned that profit-taking may occur in the coming weeks as new policies are tested, particularly regarding the potential political pressure on the US SEC chair to step down. The analyst pointed out that Ethereum is also gaining traction as expectations rise for a resurgence in decentralized finance (DeFi). Barthere noted an interesting uptick in the ETH/BTC price ratio, accompanied by significant net inflows into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), totaling $52 million on the day of the election results. The analyst suggests that these continued inflows into the recently approved ETF market are seen as indicative of broader retail interest in the second largest cryptocurrency, which she ultimately believes has yet to see significant adoption. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $76,629, up nearly 10% in the seven-day time frame. Similarly, ETH has also seen significant gains, rising 14% in the same period to reach a current price of $2,885. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin price has now returned into a full bullish sentiment now that the crypto fear and greed index has flipped into greed. This shift reflects growing confidence among investors as optimism takes hold in the cryptocurrency market. For many investors, this renewed positive outlook serves as a strong foundation for more gains in the Bitcoin price. According to a crypto analyst, Bitcoin is ripe for a final ascent to the $300,000 price level. Interestingly, this outlook is not just based on the current bullish sentiment, but the analyst is going off of technical analysis of the current Bitcoin price action. Final Ascent For Bitcoin Price Crypto analyst Gert van Lagen took to social media platform X to share an intriguing outlook concerning Bitcoin and its price action this year in light of the recent US presidential elections and its effect of its price. Speaking of an intriguing outlook for the Bitcoin price, analyst van Lagen highlighted that Bitcoin is still on track to reach $250,000 this year. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Burn Rate Ignites 3,674% On Election Day, Will SHIB Move With Dogecoin Price To New ATH? His outlook came through a funny poem and a play of words on the Bitcoin price action from August, which he titled “#Bitcoin – The Final Ascent.” The analyst also shared a BTC price chart with technical analysis. Central to van Lagen’s analysis is a detailed look at the cup and handle pattern that has been developing in Bitcoin’s price chart since the 2022 bear market. According to his analysis, the ‘cup’ portion of this pattern began forming in early 2022 and eventually concluded with Bitcoin’s surge past its previous 2021 all-time high in March 2024. The subsequent consolidation phase, which lasted until October, represents the ‘handle’ segment of the pattern. With recent inflows driving Bitcoin to fresh all-time highs, the price has now broken out from the neck of long-standing cup and handle formation, marking the beginning of what van Lagen dubs ‘the final ascent.’ What’s Next For Bitcoin? The cup and handle pattern is often seen as a bullish continuation signal. Breakouts from this pattern often indicate that the asset is about to experience a massive upward movement. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Marks Local Bottom, Can Price Run 100% From Here Again? In the case of the Bitcoin price and its breakout from the cup and handle pattern, Gert van Lagen highlighted a surge to the $300,000 price level. Notably, this outlook is also based on the prediction of a recession in the next six months. “A warning sign we can’t abide. For history shows in months but six, Recession strikes—the clock now ticks,” he said. In terms of a projected timeline, van Lagen expects the Bitcoin price to reach $250,000 and subsequently $300,000 latest by February 25. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $74,845. A surge towards $250,000 and $300,000 will represent 235% and 300% increase, respectively, from the current price level. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris, optimism is surging in the cryptocurrency market. Analysts are now projecting that Bitcoin could reach new heights of $100,000 before the presidential inauguration, which is just over two months away. Trump’s Election Signals Shift Toward Pro-Crypto Policies With Trump’s administration firmly established, CNBC reports that Bitcoin has already reached an all-time high of $75,500, signaling a potential shift towards a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment starting in 2025. The combination of Republican control of both the Senate and the White House is expected to bolster support for Trump’s pro-crypto initiatives, leading to further price discovery for the market’s biggest digital asset. Related Reading: Uniswap Surges Toward $8.74 – Can UNI Push Through To New Heights? Trump has made several key promises that could significantly impact the cryptocurrency landscape. One of the most notable is the establishment of a national Bitcoin stockpile, positioning the US as the “crypto capital of the world.” He has also committed to ensuring that all future Bitcoin mined in the country contributes to this national reserve. Moreover, Trump has vowed to fire Gary Gensler, the current chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who has faced criticism for his aggressive regulatory approach under the Biden administration. Gensler’s tenure has seen numerous lawsuits targeting major players in the crypto space, including Binance, Coinbase, and Ripple Labs, resulting in nearly half a billion dollars in legal fees for those companies. Trump’s proposed crypto policy is designed to stimulate growth and adoption within the United States, with Bitcoin positioned as a central element in his strategy to tackle the national debt, which currently stands at $36 trillion. His administration’s plans have been echoed by pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis, who introduced legislation to designate Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. This initiative was discussed during her remarks at the 2024 National Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, where Trump also made a notable appearance, further solidifying his commitment to the sector. Bitcoin On Track For $100,000 Given these developments, CNBC notes that “multiple analysts” are forecasting Bitcoin could reach the $100,000 mark before Trump’s inauguration, especially if he follows through with his promise to create a national Bitcoin stockpile. The US government already possesses over $15 billion in Bitcoin from asset seizures over the years, providing a solid foundation for this initiative. In addition to Bitcoin’s rally, stocks of US-based firms such as Coinbase and Robinhood have seen significant gains in recent days. Coinbase (COIN) shares surged by 25.73%, while Robinhood (HOOD) jumped nearly 18%, reflecting the industry’s renewed confidence in a more favorable regulatory environment under Trump. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Jumps 10%+: Is More Upside Ahead? Research from Cooper Research aligns with these optimistic projections, particularly regarding the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market. The firm previously estimated that ETFs could manage nearly 1 million Bitcoins by the time of the election, and currently hold approximately 986,000 BTC. Their analysis suggests that if trends continue, Bitcoin could indeed reach $100,000 by January 20, when Trump is set to be inaugurated, especially if ETFs increase their holdings to around 1.1 million BTC. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $74,750, having retreated from its current record high of $75,500 set during Wednesday’s trading session.

The Bitcoin price has hit a new All-Time High (ATH), marking a historical milestone in the crypto market. With a remarkable rally surpassing $75,000, Bitcoin is experiencing considerable momentum, driven primarily by market sentiment surrounding the US elections. A crypto analyst who had accurately predicted Bitcoin’s rise to $75,000 has now set a new price target for the pioneer cryptocurrency, anticipating further bullish movement. Analyst Set $170,000 Price ATH For The Bitcoin Price TradingShot, a crypto analyst on TradingView, has released a brief Bitcoin analysis report, referencing historical trends to predict a new all-time high of $170,000 for Bitcoin. Sharing a price chart depicting Bitcoin’s price movements from 2022 to the present, the analyst disclosed that on August 5, Bitcoin was testing the 1-week Moving Average (MA50), a level that has never been reached since March 12, 2003. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Marks Local Bottom, Can Price Run 100% From Here Again? In previous market cycles, this crucial level was the absolute supporting trendline that signaled a potential bull market. TradingShot revealed that after almost 20 years, the Bitcoin price was finally able to hold this key trendline not once but twice, leading to its last-week rally that saw its price testing the $73,800 mark. The analyst also highlighted that this price surge was an incredibly bullish move, indicating a strong market for Bitcoin. Moreover, the $73,800 Bitcoin price increase occurred just two days before the US Presidential elections, a period historically known to trigger explosive rallies for Bitcoin. Market expert Crypto Rover on X (formerly Twitter) notes that Bitcoin has experienced a total average price pump of 1,563% following the previous US elections. In 2016, Bitcoin rallied 2,714%, exceeding $15,000 after the US Presidential elections. Similarly, in 2020, the cryptocurrency soared over 400%, surpassing $40,000 after the elections. Now, Bitcoin is clearly on a significant uptrend after the just-concluded US presidential elections on November 4. Given the timing of these rallies, TradingShot has suggested that a similar pattern may be repeating, implying that Bitcoin could be entering a period of explosive growth. Based on chart analysis and Fibonacci levels, the analyst has projected a new target of $170,000 for Bitcoin, representing approximately 1.618 Fibonacci extensions from its current ATH. With the Bitcoin price currently trading at $73,715, having given up some gains, a surge to $170,000 would represent a 130,55% increase. BTC Finally Hits Anticipated Price Discovery With Bitcoin finally reaching a new ATH after months of speculation and anticipation, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has disclosed that this surge signals the cryptocurrency’s entry into its price discovery. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Record Largest Accumulation Week Since January With 2.10 Billion Tokens Bought A Bitcoin price discovery refers to how the market determines the current value or price based on supply and demand dynamics. Despite the new achievement, Martinez has revealed that investors are attempting to short Bitcoin by liquidating their holdings and cashing out profits. As a result, the analyst predicts that if Bitcoin goes back to the $75,550 price high, $210 million could be liquidated from the market. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The futures market is signaling that the current Bitcoin rally, spurred by Donald Trump’s recent election victory on Tuesday, might be starting. According to Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33 Research, the election’s immediate aftermath has seen a “risk-on rotation” across derivatives, indicating a surge in investor confidence. Bitcoin Options Market Targets $80,000 By Late November On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the basis—the difference between the spot market price and futures contract prices—has risen sharply from 7% to over 15% in a single day, reflecting heightened interest from institutional investors. Additionally, perpetual futures contracts, favored by offshore investors, are now trading at their largest premiums to the spot market since March, further underscoring rising demand for leverage. Related Reading: Ethereum Volatility Soon? Derivatives Exchanges Receive 82,000 ETH In Deposits Bitcoin recently surpassed $75,000 for the first time, buoyed by expectations that a second Trump presidency will usher in more favorable policies and regulations for the cryptocurrency sector, as he has vowed to support the growth of the market, with BTC at the heart of what could be a new economic policy for the nation. Before the election, NewsBTC reported that the Bitcoin options market had already set its sights on an ambitious target of $80,000 for expiries slated for late November, showcasing the optimism surrounding the asset’s potential. Analysts Predict Strong ETF Inflows Post-Election Michael Safai, founding partner at quantitative trading firm Dexterity Capital, told Bloomberg that Trump’s administration promises decreased regulatory intervention in the US, a development many crypto investors have advocated during previous years of heightened scrutiny. While exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by Bitcoin experienced one of the largest outflows on Monday, Safai suggests that traders remain optimistic about a potential reversal. Lunde also indicated that the European trading session had been relatively quiet. Still, Bitcoin appears to be finding support at its former all-time highs, a positive sign for continued upward momentum. Anticipating strong ETF inflows during US trading hours on Wednesday, the analyst expects the combination of rising CME premiums and post-election clarity to bolster Bitcoin’s performance. “The backdrop of burgeoning CME premiums presents carry opportunities that should support strong performance,” Lunde explained. However, amidst the positive outlook, some traders advise caution regarding potential price corrections. Related Reading: Uniswap Surges Toward $8.74 – Can UNI Push Through To New Heights? Previous bullish runs, such as the one witnessed in March following the introduction of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, led to significant liquidations across both directions of the market, with the cryptocurrency recording drops of over 20% following the record peak. Nathanaël Cohen, co-founder at INDIGO Fund, cautioned that profit-taking could trigger corrections at current levels. However, he remains optimistic about the overall trend moving higher in the coming months. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $74,430, up 6.2% on a 24-hour basis and nearly 4% every week.
