Bitcoin Smashes $108K as Bulls Charge Toward New Highs—Ether Joins the Party
Crypto markets roar back with Bitcoin leading the charge past $108K—proof that even Wall Street's 'safe' bonds can't compete with digital adrenaline.
Ethereum rallies hard, flipping skeptics into bagholders as DeFi activity spikes. Traders now eye whether this is the run before the inevitable 'correction' that'll have suits clucking about volatility.
Meanwhile, traditional finance bros still can't decide if crypto's a scam or the greatest hedge since gold. Spoiler: It's both.
Bitcoin Surges Past $108K, New High This Week?
Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past the $108K mark today, marking a 2.16% increase over the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of nearly $49.79 billion. After breaking above a descending trendline over the weekend, BTC is now testing resistance levels, with analysts predicting a potential push toward $110,000 while likely marking a new all-time high later this week.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $108,454—barely 3.15% away from the all-time high of $111,970, recorded on 22 May.
The current rally follows a wave of institutional backing, including Strategy’s recent 1,045 BTC purchase, TBG’s $340M commitment, and Japan’s ANAP announcement to buy 1,000 BTC.
Ethereum Continues Spiking
Ethereum (ETH) has continued riding a strong upward trend, with it surging past $2,550 and showing no signs of slowing down. Narratives like BlackRock’s acquisition of over 150,000 ETH in just 10 days signal robust institutional demand for Ethereum. ETH’s rally is partly attributed to broader market Optimism and technical breakouts, with prices eyeing $2,600–$2,700 as the next target.
Altcoins Show Uncertainty
While Bitcoin and ethereum lead the charge, altcoins display varied performances, contributing to a dynamic market landscape. Solana (SOL) is exhibiting strength and trading near $156, whereas XRP is holding onto the $2.3 price mark. Among top performers, KAIA, Fartcoin, and TAO are leading, while DEXE is a top losing altcoin today, with it declining over 12% in the past 24 hours.
