Bitcoin Marches Toward $100,000 After Setting $94,000 All-Time High

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience navigating the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, I find myself intrigued by this recent market trend. The subdued sentiment surrounding Bitcoin’s record-breaking high seems to be a bullish indicator, a sign that the rally may be more sustainable than in past cycles.


Even though Bitcoin set yet another new high, the overall mood in the market seems unusually restrained. This muted enthusiasm from analysts is seen as a good indication for Bitcoin’s future price trend, implying a more stable and lasting increase in value.

This event generated the highest search interest since the beginning of 2021; however, this interest has dropped dramatically over the subsequent seven days, going from a maximum score of 100 to 48.

Meanwhile, Coinbase has fallen to 44 on the Top iPhone App charts, a sign that retail has cooled.

Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy, expressed on Twitter that “Bitcoin is following its previous cycle’s trajectory and currently outperforming the 2015-2017 cycle.
