Traders betting on Bitcoin’s surge to the $100,000 mark have been liquidated on the market prediction platform Polymarket. 
Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) rallied to an all-time high of $99,655 on Nov. 22, increasing the chances of <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-broke-97k-with-83-odds-of-reaching-100k-this-month/" target="_blank">breaking</a> the $100,000 barrier to 91%, according to a poll on Polymarket.&nbsp; 
However, the flagship cryptocurrency soon started to face correction and even touched a local low of $90,800 on Nov. 27. The asset closed November close to the $98,000 mark. 
Consequently, one trader, known as TomApproves on Polymarket, <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-bitcoin-hit-100k-in-november" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">placed</a> a $114,000 bet on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 in November. Another anonymous gambler lost almost $56,000 on the same bet as the digital gold retraced. 
The total trading volume of the poll reached $28.5 million, per data from Polymarket.

Data from the market predictions platform shows traders still hope for Bitcoin to reach $100,000 before 2025. According to a poll on <a href="https://crypto.news/what-is-polymarket/" target="_blank">Polymarket</a>, there’s a 40% chance that the BTC price would <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-bitcoin-hit-90k-or-100k-first?tid=1733117073891" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">fall</a> to the $90,000 zone again. 
Another poll with nearly $14 million in trading volume shows that the odds of Bitcoin breaching $100,000 this month increased from 19% to 71% over the last 30 days.&nbsp;
