Published

on


Bitcoin (BTC) price today trades at $97,606.0 as of 10 AM. BTC price hit a daily high of $97,837.0 today after rallying 4.41% on November 21.

Why Is Bitcoin Price Up Today?

Bitcoin price today is up 4.41% today and currently auctions around $97,606.0. Since the breakout from the seven-month consolidation and the $75k hurdle, the crypto market outlook has turned bullish. While a few altcoins shoot higher, the alt season is yet to begin.

*bitcoin price updated as of 10 AM.

Price of BTC trades at $97,606.0, bringing the year-to-date gain from 56% on October 20 to 108% as of November 18. Although many altcoins have shot up over triple digits, Bitcoin is catching up. Ethereum price’s YTD performance is lackluster, stands at 39%, and is well below BTC.

Although Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin’s popularity is due to its first-mover advantage and its being a secure, decentralized network. In addition, many narratives, like digital gold, inflation hedges, and uncorrelated assets, have kept BTC at the forefront of the crypto market since its inception in 2009.

Bitcoin Price Eyes Bullish End to 2024

Industry veterans’ speculation of a bull run post-US elections was right, and Bitcoin is likely to end November 2024 on a positive note. Many even expect a six-digit target for BTC by the end of November, and this is due to the historical returns. History shows that Bitcoin has always performed massively in the fourth quarter.

With that said, if Bitcoin price hits a new ATH in November or December, Bitcoin’s market capitalization, which stands at $1,931.5 billion could push toward the $2 trillion mark.

Bitcoin: The Largest Cryptocurrency

 

While Bitcoin’s market cap hovers around $1,931.5 billion, with Ethereum, the duo controls nearly 65% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, which is $2.40 trillion. Despite the seven-month consolidation, Bitcoin’s $1.3 trillion market cap remains strong, anticipating it reaching $2 trillion in 2025.

BTC’s 24-hour Trading Volume

Being the top crypto has its benefits; more people tend to flock toward the asset. Likewise, BTC’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $99.0 billion. Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, contributes a major portion of this volume. Binance’s share of BTC’s 24-hour trading volume comprises spot and perpetuals trading. While spot volume hovers around 11%, perpetual volume is 41%. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, etc, follow Binance.

Bitcoin Blockchain Upgrades

With a market cap of $1.3 trillion, it is necessary for the network to remain secure, decentralized, and scalable. This is possible by upgrading the Bitcoin network regularly.

Here are some notable upgrades the Bitcoin network has received or planned to receive since its inception in 2009.

The bullish explosive trend noted up to 2029 will continue for BTC based on CoinGape predictions and potentially push the average price of BTC in 2050 between $2.9 million and $3.3 million. Investors should note that these long-term predictions can change and, hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.

How Will Bitcoin Price React to $3 Billion Buying Spree?

Michael Saylor, the CEO and founder of MicroStrategy, has increased the size of its convertible note from $1.75 billion to $2.6 billion. This suggests that the company will continue its BTC buying spree.

According to the announcement, the offering will close today, November 21, and is aimed at high-net-worth investors with a maturity of 2029. The blog also added,

“The notes will be sold in a private offering only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers.”

Investors need to note that the latest offerings has not finished yet, as MicroStrategy announces the new offering.

On a side note, here’s Michael Saylor’s tweet from two days ago.

Although this is fundamentally bullish for Bitcoin, the implication of this might not be felt in the short term. The lack of influence on BTC’s value can be attributed to over-the-counter (OTC) deals. Institutions or high-net-worth individuals use methods to conceal their buys in the short term and do not affect the market price of the underlying asset.

Regardless, the outlook is bullish, and the momentum is strong, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Bitcoin hits $100,000 before November ends.

The crypto universe has concluded yet another week, primarily with riveting developments unfolding across the broader sector. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to pump, hitting a new ATH this week. Simultaneously, Ripple’s XRP garnered significant market attention, recording considerable gains. The broader market continues to leverage investor optimism post-U.S. elections that saw Donald Trump reelected as the president.

Here’s a brief collection of some of the top cryptocurrency market headlines that have significantly impacted investor sentiment over the past seven days.

BTC Hits New ATH Amid Bull Crypto Market

BTC price hit a new ATH near the $100K level this week, echoing a buzz across the broader sector. Notably, the flagship coin gained roughly 10% over the past week to hit an ATH of $99,655. Attributable to this bullish movement post-U.S. elections, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki shared a bold prediction for the coin, anticipating its price to hit $13 million.

Aligning with this heightened market interest, biopharmaceutical firm Hoth Therapeutics forged ahead with BTC buying plans, sparking additional optimism surrounding the crypto.

US PCE, FOMC Minutes, & Crypto Expiry In Focus, Brace For Market Impact

Published

on


The crypto market enters a crucial week, with a flurry of key events like the US PCE inflation, FOMC Minutes, and Q3 GDP (first revision) data, among others, scheduled. In addition, the crypto market expiry has also fueled concerns among the market participants. For context, the investors are awaiting the impact of these events, as the broader market noted a massive rally in recent days.

US PCE Inflation & FOMC Minutes In Focus

The crypto market awaits a flurry of key economic events this week, including US PCE, FOMC, and others, with speculations soaring over the potential impact on asset prices. Notably, the week will start with Consumer confidence data and US FOMC for November scheduled on Tuesday, November 26. This would provide further cues on the Fed’s potential stance with their monetary policy plans, which usually affect the investors’ sentiment.

In addition, the minutes will also be closely watched, as recent reports showed that the US Federal Reserve said that it won’t be focusing on the 2% inflation target ahead. Besides, with Donald Trump’s election victory and Elon Musk’s focus on cutting Federal spending, investors will keep close track of the central bank’s minutes this week.

Following that, the market participants will await the US GDP figures for the third quarter. The first revision of the economic figure is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27, which will provide cues on the US economic health. This is also likely to impact the sentiment of the broader financial sector, let alone the crypto market.

Meanwhile, investors will be closely watching the inflation figures, especially after recent data indicates prices are soaring. The US PCE inflation, set for Wednesday, is expected to come in at 0.2% in October, unchanged from the previous month’s figure. On the other hand, the YoY PCE figure is expected to accelerate at 2.3%, as compared to 2.1% noted in the prior month.

In addition, the Core PCE inflation figures, which exclude the energy and food prices, are expected to show a 2.8% surge, up from the 2.7% noted in September. However, the monthly figure is expected to remain unchanged at 0.3%.

Will Crypto Expiry Impact The Ongoing Rally?

Bitcoin and other top altcoins have noted robust rallies recently, with optimism hovering in the market after Donald Trump’s election win. However, some market experts anticipate the upcoming crypto expiry to impact the market sentiment.

According to Deribit data, $9.13 billion in Bitcoin options is set to expire on November 29, with a put/call ratio of 0.80. The max pain price is $77,000. On the other hand, $1.24 billion Ethereum is also set to expire on the same date, with a put/call ratio of 0.77 and a max pain price of $2,800.

This crypto expiry, worth more than $10 billion, is likely to spark volatility in the market, impacting investors’ sentiments. In addition, many top experts including Peter Brandt hint towards a potential Bitcoin selloff ahead, while remaining optimistic about the crypto’s long-term trajectory.

Having said that, the market will keep close track of the US PCE inflation figures, FOMC minutes, and other macroeconomic events. In addition, the crypto expiry is also expected to impact the traders’ sentiment, especially amid the ongoing rally in the market.
