However, the bitcoin price, which has somewhat supported the wider crypto market, has held up better than many had expected, helped by growing fears swirling around the future of the U.S. dollar and bitcoin’s reputation as “digital gold.” “This renewed risk-on mood is setting the stage for bitcoin to make a run at $100,000,” Matt Mena, crypto research strategist at 21Shares, said in emailed comments. “The $95,000 level had been a key resistance zone in recent weeks, and once bitcoin cleared it with strong volume, momentum accelerated quickly. With equities pushing higher and liquidity expectations rising, bitcoin is behaving like a high-beta macro asset–closely tied to investor appetite for risk and reflation trades.” Other bitcoin and crypto investors have cheered the latest bitcoin price rebound, emboldening them to double-down on their bullish bitcoin price predictions. “I definitely would not be surprised [to see bitcoin reach] $200,000, or $250,000 this year," Joe Burnett, director of market research Unchained, said during an X broadcast. “If the price gets going soon and breaks a new all-time high, I think things could get really crazy, [and] actually go parabolic... all the narratives are set, the macro conditions are great.”
