Bitcoin (BTC) soared past $90,000, setting a new all-time high as the crypto market resumed its rally, with major cryptocurrencies surging. BTC surged to a new all-time high of $93,409 late on Wednesday, and the Bitcoin Dominance Index, which measures its share of the crypto market, reached 61%, a level not seen since 2021. Ethereum (ETH) also recovered late on Wednesday, managing to stay above $3,000 and is currently up almost 2% and trading at $3,231.
Other cryptocurrencies also posted significant gains, with the biggest being Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Toncoin (TON), Chainlink (LINK), and Polkadot (DOT). The crypto market cap is up 2.98% and currently sits at $2.98 trillion, and the Fear and Greed Index has hit extreme greed, indicating overwhelming bullishness in the market.
Talking about BTC’s surge to a nw all-time high, ChangeNOW CMO Pauline Shangett stated,
“Bitcoin's meteoric rise past $90,000 signals the renewed confidence from institutional and retail investors alike. This bullish momentum, underscored by a Bitcoin Dominance Index of 61%, suggests that investors see BTC as a solid hedge amid global market uncertainties. The recent spike to $93,409 marks a new era of mainstream crypto adoption, as investors flock to digital assets. With Ethereum holding steady above $3,000 and broader market indicators reflecting extreme optimism, we may be entering a period of prolonged bullish momentum.”
Bitcoin (BTC) Sets New All-Time High
Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $90,000 to set a new all-time high of $93,409 as it resumed its upward trajectory after a brief wobble. BTC’s rapid price rise has been attributed to incoming US president Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance and to ease regulations that many believe have stifled the crypto space. He has also promised to make the US the crypto capital of the world. During its first term, the Trump administration witnessed significant corporate tax cuts, bringing more liquidity to the market.
Trump has also launched his own crypto project called World Liberty Financial. However, its launch was poorly received, with only a fraction of the tokens finding a buyer. Speaking about the positive impact of a Trump presidency on the crypto space, Carl Szantyr, Managing Partner at digital asset fund Blockstone Capital, stated,
“The new political landscape may bring clearer regulations for crypto assets and could prompt strategic developments, such as a national bitcoin reserve and growth in the mining sector.”
Bitcoin Market Dominance Reaches Highest Level Since 2021
Bitcoin (BTC) has been on an almighty surge since the US elections, reaching a new all-time high of $93,409 before retreating to its current level. Other cryptocurrencies also tend to see a significant price jump when BTC rallies. However, altcoins have failed to keep up with BTC, leading to the Bitcoin Market Dominance hitting 61%, a level not seen since 2021, according to data from TradingView. The Bitcoin Dominance Index measures the total value of the Bitcoin network as a percentage of the value of all crypto assets in the world.
Gemini Faces Backlash For False Bitcoin Alert
Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini faced considerable flak after mistakenly issuing an alert stating BTC had reached $110,000. The exchange posted the apology on X after users received an email stating BTC had surged to $110,000. In reality BTC had hit an all-time high of $93,409 before dropping to current levels.
“We are aware that Gemini just sent a price alert and email noting that the price of bitcoin is now over $100K. This message was sent due to an error in our notification system. Sorry for the false alarm--we'll get there soon!”
Analysts attributed the staggering price jump to the “Trump Trade” as investors anticipate a much friendlier environment for crypto under a Trump administration. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency exchanges are grappling with price errors, with many sending incorrect price alerts or displaying inaccurate prices. These errors are attributed to technical glitches, human mistakes, or system misconfigurations, and create significant confusion among investors.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) resumed its upward trajectory after facing a wobble and some volatility, setting a new all-time high before declining below $90,000. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is up almost 4% over the past 24 hours, and over 20% during the past week, as the crypto market continues its bull run following Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections. Trump has promised a slew of benefits for the crypto industry, ease regulatory pressure, and make the US the crypto capital of the world. He has also promised to remove Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler when he takes office.
Looking at the price chart, BTC began its rally on election day when it rose over 8% to climb above $70,000 and settle at $75,179. Despite this strong rally, bullish sentiment waned over the next few days thanks to resistance at $76,000. As a result, BTC registered a marginal increase on Thursday and settled at $75,779. The price pushed above $76,000 on Friday after rising $0.91% and settling at $76,740. BTC remained muted on Saturday as well, registering only a marginal increase to settle at $76,619.
