Bitcoin today surged directly to $87,000! Just last week it was lingering at $84,000, and today it suddenly skyrocketed. Who is really behind this? Can ordinary people still get on board?

This week, the US dollar index fell below the 99 mark, reaching a three-year low. The weaker the dollar, the more global funds seek 'hedge assets'—gold has soared to a historic high of $3,370, and Bitcoin has taken off as well.

At $84,000, it was bouncing around, attracting shorts to sell. Today, a strong bullish candle broke through the key level of $86,000, directly triggering the short sellers' stop-loss orders, leaving them to eat dirt.

Historical patterns show that after gold hits a new high, Bitcoin will also break its previous high within 100-150 days. Now that gold has surged to $3,370, at this pace, Bitcoin could reach $100,000 before July. But remember: if the dollar suddenly rebounds, both of these assets will take a hit.

In May, the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates, which, if confirmed, would be like giving the market a red envelope, causing capital to flood into Bitcoin. But if the rate cut is delayed, short-term funds may retreat to seek safety. Trading cryptocurrencies is all about speculation; it’s most frenzied before news is confirmed.
