Bitcoin achieves a historic milestone by staying above a crucial price threshold for 30 consecutive days.
The first-born crypto achieved a significant milestone by maintaining a price above $100,000 for a month, marking the first time in the asset’s history. For context,
Bitcoin
first reached the $100,000 milestone on December 5, 2025. This surge in value was partly fueled by the announcement that U.S. President Donald Trump had nominated a prominent crypto advocate to head the SEC. Interestingly, Trump praised Bitcoin enthusiasts after the milestone. Following the initial spike above $103,000, Bitcoin saw a decline, dipping to around $94,000 before surging again to a new all-time high of over $108,000. However, the rally was followed by a sharp pullback, with Bitcoin falling as low as $74,000. Despite this volatility, the crypto gradually regained momentum and successfully reclaimed the $100,000 mark on May 8. Since then, Bitcoin has maintained a value above $100K for 33 days now and counting. Specifically, following a record-high of $112,000 on May 22, Bitcoin saw a slight pullback to $100,428 by June 6, but found support at this level. Interestingly, weekend buying pressure pushed the price back up to $105,000, and by June 9, it surged again to $110,000, fueled by optimism around US-China trade talks. Bitcoin Keeps on Setting Records
Bitcoin price
has fluctuated significantly over the past month, setting even further records. Notably, on May 18, Bitcoin achieved a new local peak above $106,000 and recorded its strongest weekly close at $106,446, surpassing its previous record of $106,146 set in January. Moreover, Bitcoin also closed at an unprecedented $106,909 on May 20,
marking
its highest daily close ever. Bitcoin Price Predictions As the asset holds above $100K, analysts remain optimistic about its potential, suggesting it could leverage the $100K as a launchpad for greater heights. Specifically, Bitwise analysts believe Bitcoin could hit $200,000 by the end of the year, citing its fair value at $230,000. Similarly, Bernstein, an $800 billion AUM firm, maintains its $200,000 price target for Bitcoin, calling it “high-conviction but conservative.” In contrast, Peter Brandt, a well-known figure in the trading community,
warns
of a potential 75% price drop, drawing comparisons to Bitcoin’s 2022 chart setup. Derivatives Market Trends Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s derivatives market has been witnessing reduced activity. Trading volume for Bitcoin derivatives has decreased by 30.83%, settling at $79.26 billion. Open interest has also dropped by 2.81%, indicating fewer open contracts.
While options volume saw a decline of 36.55%, the open interest in options increased by 1.99%, reaching $45.73 billion. This suggests a shift in market participation, with traders holding fewer short-term positions and opting for longer-term contracts.
