Bitcoin, the biggest crypto, on Thursday morning breached past the much anticipated $97,000 level marking a new all-time high. BTC stood just 3% away from hitting the iconic $100K milestone. Optimism about crypto’s future in the United States is fueling the rally.
The cumulative crypto market cap surged by more than 3% in the last 24 hours to stand at $3.17 trillion. Its 24-hour trading volume is running around $190 billion with a 5% jump. This spike comes in as speculation intensifies about Donald Trump’s team discussing creating a White House crypto policy role. From being a skeptic to a supporter, Trump’s pro-crypto shift is making high strides in the digital asset space.
Bitcoin rallies to $97K
Bitcoin price jumped by 6% in the last 24 hours, adding to the rally of 45% in the past 30 days. BTC is trading at an average price of $97,549, at the press time. Its 24-hour trading volume spiked by 12% to overtake the $84 billion mark.
Coinglass data shows that bulls are overpowering the bears in the epic battle towards the $100k. In the last 24 hours, more than $115 million worth of bets set on Bitcoin price action (both long and short) got liquidated.
Over $93 million worth of liquidated bets turned out to be short positions (81%). This suggests that traders were hoping for correction but a positive trend supported BTC to gain more.
Since Trump’s US Presidential election win on November 5, the crypto market has added $800 billion. Bitcoin bros see six-figure prices as the ultimate proof of its legitimacy as a modern store of value. But critics remain wary despite watching the record-breaking surge.
However, Trump’s proposed supportive crypto framework and talks of a US Bitcoin reserve could reshape the market.
