Bitcoin has reached the historic $100,000 milestone on December 6, 2024, marking a significant achievement in cryptocurrency history. This surge comes despite weak performance in global assets like oil, gold, and the S&P 500, which all posted declines in the past month. In contrast, Bitcoin soared

Bitcoin has reached the historic $100,000 milestone on December 6, 2024, marking a significant achievement in cryptocurrency history. This surge comes despite weak performance in global assets like oil, gold, and the SP 500, which all posted declines in the past month. In contrast, Bitcoin soared by 32%, showcasing its resilience and growing appeal among investors.

Analysts predict the rally will continue through the "euphoria stage," expected to last until late 2025. This stage, identified using the long-term holder net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL) metric, indicates most Bitcoin holders are in profit, a hallmark of market optimism. Quinten François, co-founder of WeRate, suggests a potential cycle peak within 12 months.

Despite global liquidity challenges, Bitcoin’s performance has defied expectations. Analyst James Coutts highlights that if liquidity conditions improve, Bitcoin's rally could sustain further growth. Based on liquidity trends, Raoul Pal, CEO of Global Macro Investor, predicts a potential local top above $110,000 by early 2025. While short-term corrections remain possible, Bitcoin’s robust trajectory points to continued bullish momentum into the coming year.
