Bitcoin price hits $100,000 for the first time, Surges Beyond $101k

Bitcoin price has surged beyond the $100k mark at the time of writing and is up by more than four percent in the last 24 hours. As Bitcoin has now crossed $100K, it’s likely altcoins will take a break.

As long as Bitcoin stays above support, we could see a potential rise towards $102K, based on a 100% extension target. This level isn’t set in stone, but it’s a key level to watch. If Bitcoin breaks above this, it might even push towards $110K, although there are many possible scenarios.

The support zone around $99K is crucial. Bitcoin needs to stay above the 50% retracement level for this move to hold. If the price drops below $96,885, it could signal weakness and may lead to a pullback.

Why is Bitcoin Rallying?

The excitement surrounding Bitcoin is fueled by the hope that Trump will bring a more crypto-friendly environment, including better regulation and the possibility of a national reserve or stockpile. Trump has nominated Paul Atkins as the next chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

Bitcoin ETFs have also surpassed $1 billion in assets, which should drive more demand as institutions become more comfortable with the asset. These institutions could further boost Bitcoin’s price.

Conclusion:

Bitcoin has been making headlines with its fast appreciation, but even when prices drop, it’s important to stay focused on the bigger picture. The recent price drop after hitting $99,000 didn’t last long, and as of now, it’s close to that high again.

Looking ahead, Bitcoin could become an even bigger part of global financial systems, with more institutions, countries, and companies investing in it. As Bitcoin moves beyond the $100,000 mark, it could attract even more attention, and the financial world may see Bitcoin integrated into more investment products.
