Bitcoin Could Hit $100,000: Here’s Why

Bitcoin’s been on a tear lately, hitting record highs in just a few days. While Trump’s election win might have started the party, Bitcoin’s rise seems unstoppable. But will it keep going? Some think the rally’s over, but CryptoQuant, a big name in blockchain analytics, says Bitcoin still has plenty of room to grow.

Four Reasons for a $100,000 Bitcoin

CryptoQuant’s latest report argues that Bitcoin isn’t overvalued, even with its recent surge. They see a path to that coveted $100,000 mark based on these factors:

  • MVRV Still Low: The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) metric shows Bitcoin isn’t in overbought territory. This suggests the rally isn’t overheating and higher prices are possible.

  • Trader On-chain Realized Max Band: This indicator points to $100,000 as the next price target. The last time it was this high (March 2024), Bitcoin broke $70,000 for the first time.

  • Increased Demand:
    Investor demand, especially in the US, has picked up since the election, with Coinbase showing positive signs.

  • Growing Liquidity: More and more stablecoins (like USDT) are flowing into exchanges. Over $3.2 billion in USDT has entered exchanges since the US election, fueling the potential for continued growth.

A Word of Caution

CryptoQuant isn’t saying it’s a sure thing. They warn that some selling could happen soon. While Bitcoin miners have started selling some of their holdings, it’s still relatively small. But this could change quickly.
