As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in finance and technology, I find myself both intrigued and cautiously optimistic about Bitcoin reaching $100,000. Having witnessed the dot-com bubble and burst, the 2008 financial crisis, and the rise of blockchain technology, I can’t help but draw parallels between these events and the current state of cryptocurrencies.
For the very first time, Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark. However, experts predict that this won’t last for too long because once a psychological pricing threshold is broken, it tends to draw increased focus and potentially boost the value further.
Nick Forster, founder of Derive and crypto analyst, expressed to CryptoMoon that he believes it’s not very probable we’ll witness significant price compression towards the 100k mark anytime soon. After Bitcoin (BTC) hit its record high of $73,679 in March, it has been fluctuating within a broad range between $53,000 and $72,000 for approximately seven months since then.
Bitcoin’s $100K price will ‘draw attention’
Bitcoin (BTC) remains a culturally influential investment, and the psychological hurdles often attract media coverage that brings in fresh investors and alters perspectives among current ones,” Forster explained.
In simpler terms, Forster stated that this situation could lead to increased market fluctuations but also has the potential for significant gains. Similarly, Matthew Hyland, a well-known cryptocurrency trader, expressed on his Dec. 5 post that the price of Bitcoin reaching $114,000 might be building up momentum.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at $102,250, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Hyland believes “this is where it begins for Crypto. You have a 3-5 month window. Take advantage.”
It appears that many futures traders are feeling positive about Bitcoin, as around $1.54 billion worth of long positions could be subject to liquidation if the price drops below $100,000, based on the information provided by CoinGlass.
The measure that follows the quantity of unresolved Bitcoin derivative agreements like options and futures, known as Bitcoin Open Interest, increased by 5.14% within the last day, reaching a total of approximately $61.18 billion.
Analysts anticipate rotation into altcoins to begin
As a crypto investor, I’m looking forward to seeing increased movement towards altcoins, with a special focus on Ether (ETH). So far, it has trailed behind in the market, but history shows that it tends to outperform Bitcoin after hitting previous all-time highs or significant milestones.
According to crypto expert Miles Deutscher, as Bitcoin’s price increases, we can expect a more significant surge in the value of other cryptocurrencies (altcoins).
“I’m salivating,” Deutscher said.
Currently, Dan Held shared with his 738,300 X followers on Twitter that reaching $100,000 isn’t merely symbolizing a price level, but rather signifies a substantial milestone in the adoption of Bitcoin.
According to Held, it suggests that the world is slowly coming to recognize Bitcoin as the potential reserve currency for the future.
