Bitcoin (BTC) could continue its upward trajectory before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, potentially reaching a new all-time high.
Following Trump’s victory, Bitcoin surged past $76,000, fueled by expectations of a crypto-friendly environment under his administration.
Several analysts predict Bitcoin could hit $100,000 by January, supported by a report from Copper, which ties the potential rise to trends in Bitcoin ETF accumulation. The report suggests that $100,000 is achievable with ETFs holding around 1.1 million BTC.
Trump’s promises to reform regulatory bodies like the SEC, including firing current chair Gary Gensler, have further sparked optimism in the crypto community. Additionally, figures like Senator Cynthia Lummis believe the administration will follow through on plans to build a Bitcoin reserve with the $15 billion already held by the government.
Bitcoin’s recent bullish breakout, after a consolidation phase, points toward a target of $90,000 to $100,000, with some forecasting a rise to $200,000 in 2025. However, concerns about a FOMO-driven rally linger, as the post-election surge may not be sustainable long-term.
The recent tariff hikes under the Trump administration are stirring uncertainty across global markets, with cryptocurrencies feeling the ripple effects.
Bitcoin’s potential for a bull run might depend on the trajectory of the US Dollar Index (DXY), according to prominent crypto trader CarpeNoctom.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States recorded significant net outflows of nearly $100 million on Thursday, coinciding with a sharp decline in the U.S. stock market.
Crypto analyst Crypto Capo believes that Bitcoin may be on the verge of a significant upward move despite its recent dip.
