The cryptocurrency reached a new all-time high of $94,078 before settling around $92,100, marking a more than 100% increase this year alone. The surge comes as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF options made their debut, drawing unprecedented institutional interest with 73,000 options contracts traded in just the first hour of launch.

Kevin O’Leary, a prominent investor and CNBC contributor, expressed strong conviction about Bitcoin’s trajectory, predicting that the cryptocurrency will surge past $100,000 “before the holiday season” with minimal resistance ahead. This optimistic outlook is shared by other market observers who point to several catalysts driving the rally.

Benjamin Cowen, a respected crypto analyst, suggests that the $100,000 milestone could mark a significant shift in market dynamics. “It has got to be a milestone that a lot of investors have in mind. I have to imagine there are a lot of people who don’t want to sell until Bitcoin hits $100,000,” Cowen noted in a recent interview.

A potential short squeeze could amplify the upward momentum. Data from CoinGlass reveals approximately $5 billion worth of Bitcoin shorts that could face liquidation if Bitcoin reaches $100,000, potentially triggering a chain reaction that could drive prices even higher. The current open interest in Bitcoin derivatives stands at an impressive $58 billion (626,520 BTC).

The institutional landscape has evolved significantly, with traditional finance increasingly embracing cryptocurrency. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF options have already positioned themselves among the top 20 most active non-index options, highlighting growing mainstream acceptance. Notably, 65% of cryptocurrency trades still occur on dedicated platforms like Binance, OKX, and Deribit, though this dynamic could shift with increased institutional participation.

Market analysts attribute the sustained rally to several factors, including Donald Trump’s reelection as U.S. President, which has boosted investor confidence in a crypto-friendly regulatory environment. The cryptocurrency market’s total value has surged past $3 trillion, according to CoinGecko, reflecting broader market optimism.

Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, notes that “there is real underlying buying pressure for bitcoin,” suggesting that “another kick higher should bring in a fresh chase from those who like to buy what’s strong.”

The ripple effects of Bitcoin’s surge are expected to extend beyond the flagship cryptocurrency, with major altcoins like Ethereum and Solana potentially benefiting from the broader market momentum. However, experts caution that the Fear and Greed Index has surged past 90, indicating “extreme greed” in the market, which historically has preceded price corrections.
