Speculations on Bitcoin Reaching $100K This Year
The conjecture surrounding Bitcoin’s potential to hit the $100k mark by the end of November has gained momentum.
Before the US presidential elections, expectations were set for Bitcoin to reach $90,000, particularly if Trump emerged victorious, a scenario that unfolded within a week. However, it seems Bitcoin may have the capacity to continue its upward trajectory.
Exploring Bitcoin’s Journey: Could it Hit $100K by November?
Initially, analysts speculated that Bitcoin’s price might surge rapidly to $90,000 following the elections.
While this prediction partially materialized, the cryptocurrency only reached around $76,000 in the two days succeeding Trump’s win, marking a modest 12% increase.
Historically, Bitcoin has experienced more significant daily increases, sometimes in excess of 15%. This year, however, the introduction of ETFs on US exchanges could limit the high volatility typically associated with Bitcoin’s price fluctuations.
By the third day post-election, growth seemed to plateau, potentially due to market closures over the weekend. Yet, by Sunday, November 10, Bitcoin surged to $80,000, reflecting an additional 5% gain.
Just two days later, the cryptocurrency briefly touched the $90,000 threshold, achieving another 11% increase. Despite Trump’s election being a contributing factor, it is evident that other influences may also be at play.
This leads to the consideration that further price gains could be possible in the upcoming days, especially since Bitcoin has now surpassed $93,000.
The Crucial Timeframe 🕒
In essence, if the anticipated “Trump Trade” indeed fueled Bitcoin’s rise above $90,000, additional catalysts may be necessary for continued growth.
If recent bullish dynamics supplement this trade, then reaching $100,000 could be within reach.
Two key dates merit attention:
- **Monday, November 18:** The current bullish trend might start to wane following this date. If Bitcoin’s price does not hit $100k by this week or over the upcoming weekend, it could be challenging to achieve that level in the following week, potentially leading to a delay until December.
- **Sunday, December 1:** A new bullish phase could initiate at this time, suggesting the chance of reaching the $100k mark still exists by year’s end, even if it doesn’t occur in November.
The Dollar’s Impact 💵
Another significant factor influencing Bitcoin’s movement is the strength of the US dollar.
Recent reports indicate that the Dollar Index has achieved new annual highs for 2024, exceeding 106.6 points, with potential for further increases.
Historical patterns show parallels to 2016 when the Dollar Index rose following Trump’s first election, escalating from 97 to 101 points by November 24, and subsequently peaking at 103 points by year-end.
Currently, analysts hypothesize that the Dollar Index might continue to rise beyond the 107 points mark by the end of November, with little expectation for a decline in early December.
In January 2017, the Dollar Index began a lengthy downward trend, dropping below 90 points within a year, which coincided with a significant bull run for Bitcoin.
This pattern highlights that even if Bitcoin surpasses $100,000 this year, the bull run could persist into next year.
Predictions for Bitcoin Price at $100K by November 🔮
Ryan Lee, the chief analyst at Bitget Research, emphasizes that historically, November proves to be a strong month for Bitcoin’s returns, supporting the belief that BTC might reach $100,000 by month’s end.
Lee even anticipates that Bitcoin’s price could exceed this target, bolstered by the post-halving cycle trends.
Analysts at Bitfinex resonate with this optimism, suggesting that Trump’s victory could enhance cryptocurrency adoption within the US, potentially driving Bitcoin above $100,000 in the forthcoming months.
However, they also caution about a possible short-term decline, anticipating a period of price fluctuation and accumulation before surpassing the $100k threshold.
The Psychological Barrier of $110K 🚀
Adding to the discussion is the notion that while $100k represents a significant psychological benchmark at present, attention also centers on the $110,000 mark.
This figure symbolizes the peak level that was expected to be observed during the previous cycle at the end of 2021, had circumstances followed past trends.
During 2021, fluctuations caused by the absence of Chinese capital due to regulatory actions likely prevented Bitcoin from reaching its full potential, as the peak remained at $69,000, rather than the anticipated $110,000.
From the close of the US presidential election year into the following year, Bitcoin has consistently approached or exceeded previous highs, which raises the possibility of reaching or exceeding $110,000 between now and January.
