This week, we’ve seen a spike of over 15% in volatility, with Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high of $93.5K. It’s been a blazing ascent, putting not only bears but also its detractors on their knees.
While we continue to see more reasons for optimism, indicators show we’re more or less where we started the week: in full Bitcoin season, with bullish momentum and strong fundamentals. Everything seems set for Bitcoin to continue breaking all-time highs and reaching new peaks. Of course, that’s not a linear path and we aim to do our best to support you in navigating the ups and downs.

In fact, $100K could be a tempting target for bears, who may view this threshold as an opportunity for bulls to take profits and potentially capitalize on a price dip. However, given the current level of price momentum and overwhelming bullish strength, bears face a challenging task in speculating where to start a price correction without risking liquidations.

Risky Business.
With Bitcoin's price hovering so close to its all-time high, it doesn’t take a complex indicator or deep analysis to conclude that most holders and traders are in profit, with realized losses at a minimum.
