Bitcoin recently crossed the $100,000 mark for the first time, having skyrocketed nearly 140% this year. This surge has generated excitement, especially with the anticipation that President-elect Donald Trump will support cryptocurrencies. Trump has expressed his goal to make America the "crypto capital of the planet" and even proposed creating a national stockpile of Bitcoin.   
But alongside this milestone, the altcoin market is also showing movement, with Ethereum breaking its retracement levels and XRP surging past its 2021 high to $2.90. While Bitcoin’s rise is grabbing headlines, the question ‘what’s next’ is also haunting investors. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has retraced back to the $97k levels and is down by more than five percent.&nbsp;   
This moment feels eerily similar to the crypto boom of 2017 when Bitcoin broke $10,000 and the media machine kicked into high gear. That was when the altcoin market truly took off, creating a frenzy of gains. Now, with Bitcoin reaching $100,000, we might be witnessing the beginning of a similar surge in altcoins, where volatility and quick gains are the name of the game. However, the question remains: is Bitcoin’s rise a sign of continued growth, or is it entering a consolidation phase?&nbsp;   
Himanshu Maradiya, Chairman and Founder, CIFDAQ, told Coinpedia, “Bitcoin’s leap past the $100,000 mark isn’t just a financial milestone—it’s a historic moment that cements the growing clout of decentralized assets in the mainstream. For investors, the spotlight now shifts to long-term planning: keeping an eye on market cycles, diversifying portfolios, and staying updated on regulatory shifts.”   
He added, “While this breakthrough fuels optimism, it’s important to tread carefully—volatility remains part of the game. Seasoned investors see this as a chance to reassess risk strategies, while newcomers are urged to prioritize learning the ropes before diving in. The road ahead will demand both patience and conviction.”
