Bitcoin continues its march toward the elusive $100,000 milestone, hitting an all-time high of $99,850.
As it nears this psychological barrier, limit sell orders are being triggered, and many in the market believe it’s only a matter of time before Bitcoin crosses the six-figure threshold.
However, long-term Bitcoin holders appear to be taking a cautious approach. Since October, they have offloaded 128,000 BTC, indicating a wave of profit-taking as Bitcoin edges closer to the $100K mark. Whether this is cautious optimism or nerves taking hold, the market remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, a massive transfer of 31,000 BTC (valued at $3.038 billion at an average price of $98,000) to a cold wallet by Deribit signals institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. By reducing liquidity, this move has bolstered bullish sentiment and underscored the growing faith of major players in Bitcoin’s future.
Arthur Hayes, a prominent crypto advocate, recently predicted that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 by the end of this year and could soar to $250,000 by 2025. He also forecasted Dogecoin reaching $1. Hayes advised first-time bull market participants to stay level-headed and ensure they take profits at the right time.
Institutional interest in Bitcoin is also surging. On November 22, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $490 million, marking five consecutive days of strong demand. BlackRock’s ETF (IBIT) alone saw a $513 million inflow in a single day. Currently, the total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs stands at $107.488 billion.
With rising institutional activity, strong technical performance, and bullish market sentiment, Bitcoin’s journey toward $100K appears increasingly inevitable. The question now is how much further it can climb.
