Bitcoin price all-time highs driven by spot volumes — Analyst says $115K is next

By
Bitcoin extended its weekend rally on Dec. 16, 2024 by setting a new all-time high above $107,700.

The swell in Bitcoin’s price comes amid a steady surge in spot volumes and the re-emergence of the Coinbase Premium in the US session.

Robust buying in the US session followed the explosive weekend price action, which saw a strong spot push on Binance and notable perpetual futures volumes on KuCoin on Sunday, Dec. 15, as traders pushed BTC’s price through the $103,000–$104,000 sell walls.

In addition to the steady spot buy volumes, positive news flow about new Bitcoin purchases from MicroStrategy and Semler Scientific hit headlines at the start of the day. 

Semler Scientific purchased 211 BTC for $21.5 million at $101,890 per coin, and MicroStrategy acquired 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion at $100,386 per coin. 

According to independent market analyst Willy Woo, more than $3 billion dollars per day has entered the Bitcoin network over the past 30 days, a data point that highlights the bottomless appetite that market participants have for BTC at the moment. 

Robust daily inflows to the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are also a consistent catalyst in BTC’s ascension to new all-time highs. According to data from SoSoValue, the week ending Dec. 12 saw $2.17 billion in inflows to the ETFs, bringing the total net assets to $114.97 billion. 

According to independent Bitcoin researcher and investor Timothy Peterson, Bitcoin’s price is most likely headed to $115,000 “based on ETF fund flows.”

One of the best (and worst) things about bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies is just how new the technology and its practical implementations are. Even though there have been many early adapters, the ecosystem as a whole involves a lot of learning, especially for those looking to come up to speed. This represents a massive opportunity as well as a pitfall for those who are on the outside looking in. I like to monitor different courses in the space for my own education as well as for resources to share with others to include them as part of the discussion and learning: I've compiled this list as a set of reliable resources to do just that. 1- DFIN 511: Introduction to Digital Currencies (Offered By UNIC) This free online course is taught by  Andreas Antonopoulos (author of Mastering Bitcoin) and Antonis Polemitis and it represents the first course in the  MSc in Digital Currency offered by UNIC.

Cointelegraph - Bitcoin has managed to hold on to its gains this week, indicating that traders are in no mood to book profits even as the price reaches near $70,000. The number of Bitcoin whales, unique addresses holding more than 1,000 Bitcoin, has risen to 2,104 as of March 7 , suggesting they anticipate the uptrend to continue. Bitcoin’s rally has improved sentiment across the cryptocurrency sector. Data from DefiLlama shows that the global total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols  jumped above $100 billion for the first time  in about two years. However, the TVL is far below the $189 billion record set in November 2021, even after the increase. Crypto market data daily view.

This price level has not been seen since November 2021, marking a significant recovery for the leading cryptocurrency. Bitcoin ETFs experience unprecedented activity It is worth noting that  the surge in Bitcoin prices  has triggered a lot of activity in US spot Bitcoin ETFs, excluding Grayscale’s GBTC.  According to Bloomberg, trading volume in these ETFs hit a record high of $2.4 billion on Monday.  The surge in trading activity highlights the growing interest and participation of institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market.
