Bitcoin Closing In On $80,000 For Record-Breaking Run After Trump Win

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed countless bull and bear runs, market crashes, and rallies. However, nothing quite compares to the current surge of Bitcoin, which seems to defy all expectations and traditional market logic.


On Sunday, Bitcoin surpassed the significant threshold of $79k for the very first time, with its momentum pushing it closer to the prestigious $80k mark. This milestone was achieved due to a combination of favorable conditions, one notable factor being the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. election.

Currently, there’s a significant rise in interest for cryptocurrencies, fueled mainly by the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election and an increase in investments into Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

I’ve been closely watching as Bitcoin breaks new ground with its bullish price trajectory, and it seems that this trend has got everyone talking in the crypto world. For me, surpassing the crucial $79,000 milestone is merely a prelude to even greater heights.

This past Sunday, the 10th of November, Bitcoin (BTC) peaked at $79.158 on Coinbase, setting a fresh record high. Although some traders are considering cashing out, many analysts advise taking a cautious approach and avoiding hasty decisions.

In a recent tweet or post, Bitcoin expert Turr Demeester advocated that holding onto (or HODLing) your Bitcoin investments could be the most effective strategy.

79,000 dollars reached as an all-time high (ATH) for Bitcoin! Remain calm, this is merely the start. Now’s the moment to be correct and stay put. There’s no need for hasty decisions; let HODLing do the job for you.

Expect A Bullish Trend For Bitcoin, Analysts Say

Demeester posits that Bitcoin’s price surge may still be in its early stages, advocating for a hold strategy. He advises staying patient and observing upcoming price movements, which aligns with the views of other Bitcoin market experts.

Similarly to other analysts, they believe that even though Bitcoin has already hit a record high, it’s likely to grow further. They note that the gap between the current price and its 200-day moving average remains relatively small, which indicates potential for additional increases.

Primed For Price Surge

As an analyst, I’m observing a more assertive outlook among crypto traders regarding Bitcoin. They believe that as the ‘alpha coin’, it is set for a surge. However, they also caution that the price could experience a dip on the coming Monday, or conversely, continue its upward trend in response to growing market demand.

Over the past few days, Bitcoin’s market performance saw multiple peaks reaching new record highs. On November 5th, it hit $73,679, and then rose further to $76,000 the next day. The peak was reached again on November 8th at $77,000.

Looking Ahead: Bitcoin’s Next Target Is $85k Or Higher

Bitcoin has a history of market fluctuations and unexpected price spikes. Some analysts predict that Bitcoin could reach anywhere from $82,000 to $85,000 or even more. Jan Van Eck, CEO of VanEck, goes further, proposing that Bitcoin might surge to $300,000 in the near future.

CORRECTION. Bitcoin Will Overtake Gold

As per Van Eck’s perspective, his projected price remains on the cautious side, and he anticipates that this digital currency could potentially match around half of gold’s overall market value.

The data from the market supports Van Eck’s analysis and the predictions of other analysts. As per recent updates, there seems to be increasing enthusiasm towards Bitcoin, particularly in US Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). On November 8th, there was an influx of approximately $293 million into ETFs, although this was less than a billion short compared to the previous day’s figures.
