Another day, another all-time high for bitcoin, which came just two thousand short of hitting the coveted $100,000 price.
At the same time, many altcoins have gone red, including ADA, SUI, and numerous meme coins, unlike other bitcoin-connected alts.
Will $100,000 fall today?
It’s been an amazing few weeks since Donald Trump won the US presidential election on November 5th. Since then, the major cryptocurrency broke its March 2024 all-time high of $73,740 and hasn’t really looked back.
It soared above $80,000 the following week and did the same to the $90,000 resistance. Although he faced some bears ready for a fight at the time, he beat the odds and started a new rally at the start of the current work week.
It initially took advantage of $94,000 to record another peak, but continued to rise in the following days and topped $95,000 yesterday. In the early hours of the Asian trading session, it soared to nearly $98,000, just 2% away from $100,000.
This came amid growing inflows into spot BTC ETFs, which now have more than $100 billion in assets under management, according to SoSoValue.
With a market capitalization of well over $1.9 trillion, bitcoin is now the seventh largest asset in the world. Their dominance in the crypto market has also increased to 58% in CG.
