TradingKey - Bitcoin Rallies Past $87,000: Can It Break Through the $90,000 Barrier?
Recently, the crypto market has seen a resurgence in bullish sentiment, with Bitcoin (BTC) once again breaking through the $87,000 mark. Yesterday, Bitcoin surged nearly 3%, and today it continued its upward momentum, reaching a high of $87,300 as it aims for the $90,000 milestone.

The market's recovery is largely driven by two key developments that have fueled optimism among investors:
(1) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has integrated cryptocurrencies into its global economic reporting framework, classifying different types of digital assets. For instance, BTC is categorized as a non-productive, non-financial asset, while platform tokens like ETH and SOL are classified as equity-like instruments, and stablecoins are recognized as financial tools. This move effectively legitimizes and acknowledges the role of cryptocurrencies in the global economy.
(2) Bo Hines, Executive Director of President Trump's Digital Asset Advisory Committee, suggested in an interview that the U.S. could use proceeds from its gold reserves to purchase more Bitcoin. This budget-neutral approach is seen as a viable strategy and could potentially be adopted.
In the short term, Bitcoin faces resistance at the $90,000 level. On March 20, Bitcoin briefly rallied to $87,400 before pulling back. Now, as Bitcoin approaches this level again, a significant catalyst or positive development will likely be needed to push it past the $90,000 threshold.
