Michael Saylor’s Wild $100K Bitcoin Party Plans

• VanEck’s Matthew Sigel predicts Bitcoin will reach $180,000 next year, citing no technical barriers and historical patterns.

Planning the #Bitcoin 100K Party

He pointed out that after a vigorous start to November, Bitcoin faced no technical barriers to further growth. Echoing patterns from four years prior, Sigel predicted continued strong performance, with potential price targets reaching as high as $180,000 next year.

Sigel highlighted the similarities to Bitcoin’s behavior in November 2020, when it doubled in value despite facing multiple corrections.

He expressed confidence in the ongoing rally, citing numerous positive indicators. According to Sigel, the trajectory for Bitcoin remains upward, bolstered by a supportive political environment in the U.S.

The shift in U.S. political leadership has introduced policies more favorable to cryptocurrencies. Notably, the potential creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and discussions around the SEC’s regulatory stance under Gary Gensler, who has been notably tough on crypto operations, signal a more crypto-friendly approach moving forward. 

Sigel also noted the broader economic benefits of a thriving crypto sector, including job creation and positive impacts on the GDP as companies consider returning to the U.S. market.

Key Observations:

• Price Trend: Bitcoin remains in a strong uptrend despite today’s pullback, with a weekly gain of 18.21% and a monthly increase of 35.33%. Year-to-date, BTC is up 111.59%, reflecting robust market sentiment and demand.
• Market Capitalization: The market cap of Bitcoin is currently $1.77 trillion USD, with a 24-hour trading volume of $102.55 billion USD, suggesting active trading and high liquidity.

Technical Analysis

Bitcoin is approaching a key resistance level near $90,000 USD. If it breaks above this level, the next target would be the psychological milestone of $100,000 USD. However, if the price fails to hold, a correction towards support at $85,000 USD may follow.
