Hello everyone, I am Yan Ge. Bitcoin's price has surged to a historic high, touching $99,588, just one step away from $100,000. The current market has slightly retraced, stabilizing around $97,444. In this high-level market, investors are generally confused: how much higher can Bitcoin go? Will the next market trend continue to rise, or will it face a retracement? Today, I will analyze the current market from multiple perspectives and provide practical investment advice.
Patterns revealed by historical trends
Each round of Bitcoin's bull market follows similar patterns: prices repeatedly hit new highs but then enter a phase of consolidation. For instance, Bitcoin reached $64,854 in April 2021 and climbed to $69,000 in November, before entering a correction phase. In March 2024, it broke through to $73,777, and in November, it set a new historical high of $99,588.
These data indicate that the peak of the Bitcoin bull market is often accompanied by retracement pressure. Whether the market will break through $100,000 next or experience a significant retracement needs to be analyzed in-depth considering the flow of funds and market sentiment.
Two possible market scenarios
Scenario 1: The peak has been reached, and the market enters a correction period
If Bitcoin's current high has basically been established, it may be difficult for the market to break through $100,000 in the short term. Institutional fund flows show a cautious attitude, with some funds gradually reducing positions. As policy benefits are gradually realized in December, Bitcoin may fluctuate and consolidate in the range of $70,000 to $80,000, before gradually entering a correction phase.
Scenario 2: A brief surge, followed by an immediate retracement
Another possibility is that Bitcoin breaks through $100,000 in the short term driven by funds. However, due to a lack of sustained support after the breakout, profit-taking may occur rapidly, and the market could retrace to lower levels early next year. In this scenario, market volatility will further intensify.
Investment strategy: Rational choices for high-level operations
Gradually take profits to reduce risk
For investors holding positions at low levels, now may be a good time to take profits in batches. Although the market may still have some upward potential, the risk-reward ratio is gradually decreasing, and chasing prices at high levels is not wise.
The potential of second-tier coins and altcoins
Compared to Bitcoin's high-level fluctuations, second-tier mainstream coins and popular altcoins may offer more opportunities. Mainstream coins like ETH and BNB still have room for growth, while established altcoins like DOGE and SHIB may experience a short-term surge. When investing in these coins, it is essential to closely monitor fund flows and changes in market sentiment.
Beware of the risks of high-enthusiasm new coins
Some new coins or concept coins that open high and drop low may attract funds by leveraging market enthusiasm, but the actual risk is relatively high. For example, projects like PNUT and MORPHO, which have performed generally recently, remind us that rational investment is more important than blindly chasing hot trends.
Market analysis: Seize opportunities, beware of retracements
The current Bitcoin market is approaching historical highs, and regardless of whether there is a short-term breakthrough or a consolidation phase next, the market risk cannot be ignored. Investors need to remain calm during operations, set reasonable profit-taking and stop-loss targets, and prioritize fund flexibility.
