Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) nearly reentered US dollar price discovery this week with a rapid march through final resistance.
In Europe, however, the largest cryptocurrency enjoyed an early record thanks to shifts in <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-analysis-10-28-spx-dxy-btc-eth-bnb-sol-xrp-doge-ton-ada" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-analysis-10-28-spx-dxy-btc-eth-bnb-sol-xrp-doge-ton-ada">dollar strength</a>. After almost eight months of consolidation, BTC/EUR broke through a ceiling set in March.
“The 350 million citizens of the eurozone just experienced a new all-time high for Bitcoin,” longtime analyst Tuur Demeester <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/TuurDemeester/status/1851316677956206609" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">wrote</a> in part of a reaction on X.

The euro is just one of the major world currencies now at all-time lows in BTC terms. Others include the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, alongside unfamiliar names such as the Turkish lira.

The eurozone’s recent history concerning Bitcoin has become synonymous with hostility, thanks to <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ecb-paper-claims-older-bitcoin-holders-impoverishing-new-holders" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">repeated criticism</a> from the European Central Bank (ECB).
As <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-academics-argue-ecb-bitcoin-bashing-paper" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Cointelegraph reported</a>, the ECB’s latest paper garnered scorn and even ridicule from the crypto community, which considered its findings illegitimate.
“This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers,” Demeester <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/TuurDemeester/status/1847512241173582058" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">warned</a> in part of a dedicated X thread on the report earlier this month.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans.”

In addition to seeking a new dollar all-time high, the largest cryptocurrency has yet to clinch a definitive breakout against gold.
Uploading a chart of BTC versus XAU/USD to X, veteran trader Peter Brandt spelled out the scale of the challenge before Bitcoin bulls.
“This is the heavy weight division in the battle against fiat depreciation Bitcoin,” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/PeterLBrandt/status/1851230707118383126" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">said</a>.
<blockquote>
 “$BTC remains below Mar '24 high and double highs in 2021. Bitcoin has made no progress in 42 months.”

Gold set a dollar all-time high of its own on Oct. 29 at $2,789.85 per ounce, part of an ongoing <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-analysis-rematch-2021-record-high-sp-500" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">risk-asset resurgence</a> that has gathered steam in Q4.
