Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high, surpassing the $99,000 mark, according to data from major trading platforms. This historic milestone follows its recent surge past $98,000.

On Binance, Bitcoin’s price briefly hit $99,100, marking a 4.42% daily increase. However, within five minutes, it pulled back slightly to $98,980, reflecting a gain of 4.27%. Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap, which aggregates data from over 20 exchanges, reported a peak price of $99,190 during the same period.

This upward momentum is largely attributed to record inflows into spot BTC-ETFs, which continue to drive market enthusiasm. Investor sentiment has also been bolstered by the election of Donald Trump as the new U.S. president, who is known for his pro-crypto stance, alongside positive comments from other policymakers. That said, the long-term trajectory of Bitcoin will likely depend on the actions these leaders take in the coming months. Analysts are optimistic, with some predicting Bitcoin could reach the psychological $100,000 level as part of the so-called "Santa Claus rally."

Institutional Interest Fuels Growth

The crypto market has been further invigorated by the launch of a new investment product from BlackRock (NYSE:BLK). Traders have shown unprecedented interest in options tied to the iShares Bitcoin Trust, which was recently listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Analysts are observing significant activity in options trading, indicating growing institutional involvement.

Cryptocurrency exchanger directory BestChange.com's Chief Analyst confirmed: “The current state of the options market signals a potential rise in Bitcoin's value to impressive highs of over $120,000, reflecting the optimistic sentiment shared by 70% of market participants.”

What’s Next (LON:NXT) for Bitcoin?

Recent trends reinforce these bullish forecasts. Bitcoin has decisively broken through the $99,000 technical barrier, maintaining its upward trajectory and solidifying expectations for continued growth. Investors and market watchers alike are now eyeing the $100,000 milestone as the next key level, with the potential for even greater gains in the coming years.
