Bitcoin ($BTC ) has once again entered the spotlight as President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration approaches, and has risen above the $102,000 barrier, recording astronomical numbers at the beginning of 2025.
CryptoQuant revealed that Coinbase Premium has returned to the green zone for the first time since early January. Simply put, this indicator measures the difference between the price of BTC on Coinbase and its price on Binance. If the indicator is positive, it means that investors in the US are buying Bitcoin aggressively.
Why the excitement? Rumors are that Trump could launch pro-crypto policies on day one. With this momentum, it’s clear that American investors are preparing for a big move in the market.
What could happen?
Bitcoin surpassed $102,000, and appeared to be heading higher as US markets opened.
Over the past 24 hours, over $60 million in shorts were liquidated, meaning that speculators were surprised that Bitcoin returned to these levels.
Analysts are optimistic that the first quarter of the year will be positive for Bitcoin, especially in the years following a halving. With Trump in the picture and his potential policies, things could take a whole new turn.
Bitcoin has proven that it is always ready for a challenge, and with this enthusiasm from American investors, it is clear that the market is about to enter a new phase full of surprises.
