Bitcoin’s Sky‑High Bid: A Wild Ride to $70,600
Bitcoin hooked a brief but unstoppable streak in the early hours of Monday, nudging past the 2021 sky‑high of $69,000 and smashing the weekly support at $61,782. In a quick burst that felt like a celebratory gaiters, the price crept to an all‑time peak of $70,600. The enthusiasts gasped, the whales wiped out, and a tidal wave of liquidations followed, chipping away billion‑dollar positions that had been lurking in the back‑window space.
Crypto Franchises Get a Surge (and a Gaggle)
- Stacks (STX): +13 % on Sunday, +7 % over the week.
- THORChain (RUNE): Roared to a 22‑month high in total value locked.
- LENDS: A test‑net cousin of RUNE that rose ~12 % today, and 90 % over the week.
The 42‑Day Countdown to April 21 Halving
All eyes now turn to the April 21 halving, a 42‑day event that’s expected to act like a rocket booster for Bitcoin‑linked tokens. Even before the official upgrade, beta releases of Bitcoin are starting to sweeten holders’ wallets. With the market’s institutional inflows still upfront, one might just feel a burst of optimism in the air. The drip‑down of retail capital is expected later, potentially catapulting Bitcoin toward the $100,000 mark.
What If the Price Takes a Nap?
Indeed, Bitcoin is hovering at around $71,000, a 13 % weekly gain. Still, there’s no guarantee of relentless upward momentum. A pause, sideways drift, or even a dip are all within the realm of possibility. The market’s recent roller‑coaster shows that a few coins bounced back while others plummeted.
Key Support Levels & The Psychological Barrier
- Potential drop to the “imbalance” tier between $59,313 and $53,015 could gather new momentum before the halving.
- A hallmark support sits at $43,786 (or slightly below), and a stall here could ignite a rally to $100,000 or beyond.
Why Now? Major Players Are Ready to Toss Bitcoin in Bulk
Reports hint at corporate and telecom giants getting ready to lay down massive Bitcoin purchases, pushing the price into the $71,020 area. The energy behind the movement is a confluence of institutional flows, ETF approvals, and the gentle hum of upcoming retail participation.
Takeaway: Keep an Eye on the Upper Edge
The current rally kicked off in 2023 and feels set to continue past the $71,000 threshold—a psychological high block. A trip back to the $43,786 level might seed a new surge. If the market’s current vibe holds steady, the next big leap could very well lead Bitcoin into the $100,000 club, a deadline that has already been on the minds of pundits everywhere.
