Bitcoin Smashes $105K Barrier as Crypto Market Cap Nears $4 Trillion—Wall Street Still Pretends Not to Notice

Digital gold just got a whole lot shinier. Bitcoin’s relentless rally breaches the $105,000 psychological ceiling—while the broader crypto ecosystem flirts with a staggering $4 trillion valuation.

Meanwhile, traditional finance clings to its spreadsheets and ’muh volatility’ narratives. Guess those 0.1% bond yields aren’t cutting it anymore?

The takeaway? The future’s already here—it’s just unevenly distributed (and heavily decentralized).

• Bitcoin surges past $105,000, eyeing $108,000 as the crypto market approaches a $4 trillion valuation.
• Analysts note a bullish ascending triangle pattern, indicating a potential breakout.
• Fed rate decisions, U.S. Treasury auctions, and BRICS de-dollarization moves could drive BTC toward $158K–$600K.

Bitcoin has surged past the critical $105,000 resistance level, targeting a breakthrough above $108,000. This price action has sparked renewed excitement in the crypto world, with many experts predicting that BTC could reach a new all-time high soon. The entire cryptocurrency market is approaching a massive $4 trillion valuation, signaling strong investor confidence and potential for further gains.

Analyst Ali Martinez recently noted that Bitcoin has yet to make a decisive upward breakout. He highlighted that on shorter timeframes, BTC is developing an ascending triangle pattern, where the price consistently forms higher lows but encounters resistance at a steady level.

Major macroeconomic events are likely to play a key role in Bitcoin’s next move. The Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision in June, along with new tariffs expected in July, could fuel Bitcoin’s rally. Wall Street strategist Fred Krueger is particularly bullish, forecasting a major price surge within the next 90 days.

💥 THE FINAL RUN: bitcoin TO $600,000

Starting BTC: $150,000

Krueger warns that the $200 billion U.S. Treasury auction scheduled for July 21 may face insufficient buyer demand, forcing the Fed to intervene with emergency measures. Such a scenario could cause BTC to soar to between $158,000 and $165,000 in just 24 hours, offering an explosive upside for investors.

Bitcoin Poised to Hit $460K as BRICS Dumps Dollar

On July 25, Krueger expects the BRICS nations to announce a new global payment system backed by gold and BTC. This development WOULD reduce their dependence on the U.S. dollar, weakening its global influence. Even if Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell defends the dollar, the shift away from USD could accelerate. Following this, BTC could climb to $180,000 and then jump to $215,000 after the Fed introduces yield curve control measures in early August.

By mid-August, additional global financial changes could further boost Bitcoin’s price. Germany may back the euro with 10% gold reserves, while countries like Venezuela and Nigeria consider moving foreign reserves into BTC. Furthermore, Tether is expected to launch a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, adding more liquidity and stability to the crypto market. These factors combined could push BTC to an impressive $265,000.

Looking ahead to September, Treasury yields surpassing 8.5% might compel the Fed to step in again, potentially exploring the launch of a U.S. digital dollar. This intervention could trigger a sharp BTC rally to as high as $390,000 within days. Mid-September could also see tech giants such as Apple, Tesla, and Google adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, further driving adoption. Entire Latin American countries are expected to embrace BTC, potentially lifting prices to $460,000.

Bitcoin to Lead IMF Reserve Basket Bitcoin Eyes $525K

By late September, the IMF might introduce a new global reserve currency basket where Bitcoin could account for 50%. It would represent a historic milestone for Bitcoin, pushing its price to $525,000. In early October, the U.S. may restructure the dollar to be backed 25% by Bitcoin and 25% by Gold while launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC). With the Fed’s balance sheet potentially reaching $44 trillion, BTC could hit an astonishing $600,000, while gold could stabilize around $10,400.

The growing investor preference for BTC over gold highlights a significant shift in safe-haven assets. Market fears are fading, and fear of missing out (FOMO) is increasing, prompting many to bet on Bitcoin’s continued ascent. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has also reinforced this bullish outlook.

From a technical standpoint, BTC is currently forming an ascending triangle on lower timeframes, a bullish pattern characterized by higher lows approaching a resistance level. This pattern suggests that a strong breakout may be imminent. Bitcoin is currently trading at $107,427 with a 24-hour trading volume of $52.81B and a market cap of $2.13T. The BTC price increased 1.24% in the last 24 hours.
