Bitcoin (BTC) achieved a new record high of $94,730, continuing a significant uptrend that began on November 5. Analysts are dubbing this rally the “Trump trade,” as the recent political developments surrounding Donald Trump’s victory have instilled renewed confidence among investors in BTC and the broader crypto market. Analyst Forecasts 42% Increase For BTC Despite the impressive surge, analysts believe Bitcoin’s price discovery is far from complete, indicating substantial potential for further growth. Among those sharing this bullish sentiment is analyst Ali Martinez, who draws parallels between Bitcoin’s current price movements and those seen in December 2020, before the notable uptrend that ultimately led to an all-time high of $69,000 in 2021.

This similarity suggests that the BTC price may be poised for significant upward movements in the coming months. According to Martinez, if this trend continues, Bitcoin could target the $108,000 mark, followed by a potential correction to around $99,000, before bouncing back to a predicted milestone of $135,000. This forecast represents an increase of over 42% from current levels, although Martinez did not specify a timeline for these movements, indicating they might occur anywhere between now and the first quarter of 2025. Bitcoin To Reach $1 Million By 2029? In even more optimistic projections, market expert Timothy Peterson, who identifies as a network economist, suggests that Bitcoin’s current bullish trend could persist until November 2025, with ambitious targets set for the future. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Peterson predicted that Bitcoin could reach $275,000 per coin by Thanksgiving Day 2025. He bases this projection on Metcalfe’s Law, which posits that the value of a network is proportional to the square of its number of users. This indicates that as more individuals adopt Bitcoin, its value is likely to increase significantly.

Trading at $94,730 as of this writing, the largest cryptocurrency on the market has seen massive gains in recent weeks, with a 26% and 39% increase in the fourteen and thirty day time frames, respectively. Furthermore, BTC has reached a market cap valuation of $1.8 trillion, making it one of the most valuable assets in the world, currently ranked 7th, just behind companies such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Google and Amazon. But quite far from the leading asset in this matter which is gold with a market cap of $17 trillion. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

A recent analysis by CryptoQuant analyst tugbachain sheds light on an important aspect of Bitcoin market behaviour — the UTXO Realized Price Age Distribution. This metric plays a significant role in understanding the holding patterns of different investor groups and the market’s response to price fluctuations. The realized price, calculated as the Realized Cap divided by the total supply, is pivotal for identifying cost bases among long-term holders and recent buyers. According to tugbachain, the realized price levels for one-month and three-month periods often serve as critical zones during bull market corrections. These levels provide a lens through which market sentiment, especially among smaller investors, can be analyzed, offering insights into the underlying dynamics that drive buying and selling activity. Related Reading: Is $135,000 Bitcoin’s Current Ceiling? This Model Says So Key Support Levels For BTC The analyst identifies two specific realized price levels—$75,100 and $62,400—as key cost bases for small investors. These levels are significant because they act as support zones during periods of market volatility. tugbachain noted that historically, when Bitcoin’s price tests these levels, it often triggers buying reactions, highlighting the psychological and financial influence of these price points on smaller investors. The CryptoQuant analyst also points out that these support levels reveal not only the patterns of small investors but also how their actions can be influenced, or even manipulated, in a bull market. In bullish cycles, it’s common for market dynamics to amplify fear among smaller investors, often prompting panic selling. tugbachain concluded noting: Monitoring these levels closely can provide valuable insights for making informed investment decisions. Bitcoin Market Performance Meanwhile, Bitcoin has just renewed its all-time high (ATH). So far BTC’s peak stand at $94,784.
