Bitcoin Surges to New All-Time High of $113,900: A Game Changer for Investors
In a remarkable continuation of its bullish momentum, Bitcoin achieved a groundbreaking new all-time high (ATH) of $113,900 just one day after reaching a previous peak of $112,000. This recent surge, which has its roots in a revival that started in late June, underscores an increasingly widespread recognition of Bitcoin as both a secure store of value and a strategic investment asset. Remarkably, only 18 days prior, Bitcoin was hovering around $98,000, making its recent ascent all the more impressive.
Market Reactions and Liquidations
As Bitcoin’s price reached this unprecedented level, a substantial $50 million worth of Bitcoin short positions were liquidated within a matter of hours. Data sourced from Coinglass indicates that over $1.5 billion in short positions could be liquidated if Bitcoin climbs to $120,000. Should the cryptocurrency maintain its current trajectory, a significant short squeeze could occur, compelling bearish traders to buy back at higher prices, thus propelling the price further upward.
Predictions and Speculations
Insights from Polymarket, a leading betting platform, suggest an 80% likelihood that Bitcoin will hit $115,000 by the end of July, with a 44% chance of breaching $120,000. Such predictions indicate a growing confidence among investors regarding Bitcoin’s potential future valuation.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Federal Reserve Board Member Christopher Waller hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts this month. This potential monetary easing could further drive Bitcoin’s price upward, creating additional bullish sentiment in the market.
Political Influence on Bitcoin
Former President Donald Trump has been vocal about his desire for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. On his Truth Social account, he commented on Bitcoin’s price increase and the corresponding rise in stock prices, stating, “CRYPTO, ‘Through the Roof.” He urged the Fed to act quickly to lower rates to reflect economic strength.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin Reserves
In the midst of this bullish trend, notable developments are also occurring in El Salvador, a country that has consistently supported Bitcoin. Since adopting the cryptocurrency last year, El Salvador has acquired over 6,233 BTC for its treasury reserves. Following today’s price surge, the value of these holdings has exceeded $700 million.
