Bitcoin reached a new all-time high yesterday, surging to $94,000 and solidifying the bulls’ control over the market. This milestone has ignited widespread speculation about the key factors fueling the rally, as Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines and capture investor enthusiasm.  Related Reading: Solana Analyst Expects A Retrace Before It Breaks ATH – Targets Revealed Key insights from CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju shed light on the drivers of this historic surge. According to Ju, this rally has been powered by Coinbase investors, with U.S.-based buyers playing a significant role. The influx of demand from these investors underscores the growing domestic interest in Bitcoin and highlights the critical influence of American market participants on global crypto trends. Adding to the excitement, market sentiment appears to be heavily influenced by the pro-crypto stance of President-elect Donald Trump. His support for digital assets has sparked optimism across the industry, potentially creating a favorable regulatory environment that could sustain Bitcoin’s growth. Bitcoin Demand Continues To Drive The Price  Bitcoin demand remains remarkably strong, even as miners and long-term holders (LTHs) take profits during this rally. Despite selling pressure from these groups, BTC continues to rise, underscoring the robust market appetite for the leading cryptocurrency. This strength suggests buyers readily absorb the distributed supply, fueling Bitcoin’s bullish momentum. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently shared insightful data on X that highlights the driving forces behind this rally. According to Ju, U.S.-based investors using Coinbase have played a pivotal role in Bitcoin’s surge. He referenced the BTC Hourly Coinbase Premium (Volume-Weighted, USDT/USD Adjusted), which measures the difference in Bitcoin prices on Coinbase compared to other exchanges.  The premium is currently positive and growing, indicating that U.S. investors are willing to pay more for BTC than their international counterparts. This trend demonstrates strong demand from U.S. market participants, likely buoyed by improving market sentiment and potential regulatory optimism.

However, as with all parabolic trends, traders and analysts remain cautious, recognizing the possibility of eventual pullbacks. The focus remains on Bitcoin’s strength, as buyers continue to outpace sellers, driving the market higher. BTC Setting New Highs (Again)  Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $93,300, following its recent break above the all-time high (ATH) of $93,483. While this move marked a new milestone for BTC, the price has since entered a sideways range within a defined uptrend, indicating that demand continues to outweigh supply. However, the breakout above the ATH lacked significant momentum, resembling more of a small spring than a decisive rally. This suggests that bulls might be starting to lose steam. Despite this, BTC’s ability to maintain above $89,800 in the coming hours will be critical. Holding this key support level could pave the way for a surge to $95,000, aligning with broader market expectations of continued bullish momentum. Such a move would likely reaffirm confidence among investors, potentially driving further buying interest as Bitcoin eyes the psychological $100,000 level.

This scenario could lead to a retrace toward lower demand zones around $85,000, where buyers might regroup to push prices higher again. As BTC consolidates near its ATH, the market awaits a decisive move to determine whether the bulls remain firmly in control or if a temporary correction is on the horizon.

The Cardano blockchain has witnessed a surge in trading activity over the past few weeks, with price data relaying this trend. Cardano’s price increase in the past 30 days has been more than impressive, with its price doubling within this period. At the time of writing, the ADA is now trading at its highest point so far in 2024 after breaking above the March high of $0.77. Delving deeper into the forces behind this rally, on-chain metrics suggest that the surge is being driven by strong buying momentum, particularly from large ADA holders. Data from the blockchain analytics platform IntoTheBlock highlights a noteworthy spike in large transaction volume, which today reached $22.56 billion. This figure marks a 297% spike in large transaction volume in the past two weeks.  Spike In Cardano Large Holder Volume The surge in Cardano’s large holder activity is highlighted by the ‘Large Transactions Volume in USD’ metric provided by blockchain analytics platform IntoTheBlock. This metric captures the total value of on-chain transactions exceeding $100,000 within a 24-hour period, offering insights into the behavior of high-net-worth investors and institutional participants.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Could Surge To $138,000 Before Recording A 30% Crash Interstingly, the Large Transactions Volume in USD metric recently reached $28.43 billion on November 16, which is its highest so far till date. Such a figure underscores the significant interest and heightened activity on the Cardano blockchain, particularly among large-scale holders who are likely driving much of the network’s momentum. This elevated level of activity has shown no signs of stopping, with the most recent data reporting $22.56 billion in large transactions over the past 24 hours. To provide perspective, Cardano began November with daily large transaction volumes hovering just below $6 billion before experiencing a notable uptick starting November 6. What’s Next For ADA Price? At the time of writing, the ADA price is trading at $0.80, up by about 6.5% in the past 24 hours. This price point marks the highest ADA price since May 2022. Not just large holders; retail holders are also in on the trend. The ADA trading volume has surged by about 29% in the past 24 hours, coming in at $2.31 billion.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Forms Bullish Symmetrical Triangle, Crypto Analyst Says Next Stop Is $100,000 As it stands, Cardano is currently outperforming every other large market cap crypto in the past 24 hours.

Beyond the large transaction metric, other metrics such as the net network growth and positive momentum in the futures market suggest a very optimistic outlook.
