1. Recent bullish metrics suggest Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by January 2025, driven by high open interest in Bitcoin futures and significant flows into US BTC ETFs. This optimism is reflected in a new ATH of over $37.3 billion in total aggregated open interest across 15 crypto exchanges.
2. Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has called for the US to abandon gold as a reserve asset in favor of Bitcoin. He argues that this shift could significantly boost the US's economic standing by demonetizing gold and capitalizing on Bitcoin's growth potential.
3. Recent data shows that Bitcoin liquidations have reached a three-year high, driven by smaller traders engaging in high-leverage positions. This surge in liquidations has been linked to the ongoing Bitcoin rally, with significant losses for both long and short positions.
4. Recent news suggests that if Bitcoin's key support level of $68,958 is breached, it could lead to an 8-13% correction, potentially triggering a massive crash. This scenario is particularly concerning given the historical context of financial markets rallying post-US elections, which might not apply if Kamala Harris wins.
5. MARA, a global leader in digital asset compute, has recently acquired $1.1 billion in Bitcoin using cash from its zero-coupon convertible bond issuance. This strategic move reflects the company's confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value and its potential as a treasury reserve asset.
6. Google's recent unveiling of the Willow quantum chip has sparked intense debates about the potential security risks to Bitcoin. While experts emphasize that breaking Bitcoin's encryption requires far more advanced technology than Willow currently possesses, the chip's capabilities have reignited concerns about the long-term security of cryptocurrencies.
7. Eric Trump, son of President-elect Donald Trump, has predicted that Bitcoin will hit $1 million at the Bitcoin MENA 2024 conference. His statement reflects the growing optimism in the cryptocurrency market following Trump's election victory and his pro-crypto stance.
8. Bitcoin's price drop to $94,000 led to $1.57 billion in crypto liquidations, primarily driven by smaller traders. Coinbase's aggressive selling preceded the price decline.
