- Bitcoin’s double-digit surge this week has been fueled by fresh capital and extreme greed
- Is this rally just a blip—or the start of something bigger?
Approximately a week past, Bitcoin plummeted to around $89k – its lowest point in over a month and a half. Fast-forwarding seven days, BTC has surged by 17% since then – a typical ‘buy the dip’ move. Given the market’s turmoil, a further 10% increase doesn’t merely seem plausible; it seems unavoidable. So, could we be on the verge of a $110k surge?
If greed doesn’t take over
Two significant triggers have ignited a substantial increase of over ten percent in Bitcoin. Initially, economic tension from inflation has lessened as indicated by a decrease in the most recent Consumer Price Index report, which has soothed investor anxieties. Secondly, the possibility of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
It seems these events may be either coincidental or not, but they could pave the way for a possible Bitcoin surge. The 69,790 wallets possessing 82,120 Bitcoins, bought at an average cost of $106,880 each, are now anticipating gains as the market moves near surpassing their initial investment price.
Currently, the financial market is exhibiting a state of excessive optimism or “overexuberance.” Yesterday, Bitcoin reached an impressive closing price of $104,000, and investors are aggressively investing in it. Remarkably, over 15,170 Bitcoins, worth approximately $1.5 billion, have been withdrawn from exchanges at this price, further fueling the market.
It seems increasingly probable that there will be a $110k increase. Yet, given the significant amount of money involved, a sudden drop in prices could occur soon. If $8.7 billion worth of Bitcoin becomes profitable, we may witness a large-scale selling spree. However, this is only the start of potential future events.
Visualize this scenario: Approximately 4.72 million Bitcoins, acquired at an average cost of about $88,396 per coin, might generate approximately $417 billion in market liquidity. With the level of greed currently being “extreme,” the conditions are ripe for a massive sell-off that could transform numerous holders into billionaires.
It’s clear that the situation is intensifying, with new funds flowing in and Bitcoin’s riskier areas generating a lot of activity. However, one might wonder how much longer this surge can continue before the market experiences a shift.
Temporary hype or a lasting trend?
As an analyst, I’m observing a surge of interest from both institutional and individual investors, with fear of missing out (FOMO) reaching unprecedented levels. A striking example of this trend is the dramatic increase in value for Trump’s memecoin (TRUMP), which soared by an impressive 260% within just the past 24 hours.
On the other hand, the craze surrounding these meme-based cryptocurrencies seems to be taking liquidity away from Bitcoin, causing it to rise by just 1.57% in the same timeframe. The distinction between the two digital assets is growing increasingly indistinct.

Similar to the rise of meme coins, Bitcoin’s 17% increase can be attributed largely to excitement (or “hype”) and popular trends. Investors are jumping on the bandwagon, riding the wave of broader market movement, with fear of missing out (FOMO) fueling the upward trend. But once the excitement dies down, it’s worth considering what might happen next.
There’s been a pattern where meme-based cryptocurrencies experience a drop in value after their initial excitement dies down – is it possible that Bitcoin might follow suit? Despite the current surge, it’s premature to claim this growth as long-term and stable. With vast sums of money at stake, prepare for further market fluctuations. If enthusiasm wanes and fundamental worth becomes more important, we may witness Bitcoin sliding back to around $90k.
