#CryptoComeback Bitcoin reaches $100,000 again, and in fact, it has flirted with that level recently, currently trading a little below that in the range of $98,000 - $99,000 at the end of Thursday, May 8, 2025.

Whether it will reach $100K and beyond involves a complex interaction of factors, and predictions vary. Here’s a look at what is being discussed:

Factors that could drive Bitcoin higher:

* Increased Adoption: Greater acceptance by businesses and institutions could drive demand.

* Limited Supply: The fixed supply of Bitcoin at 21 million coins inherently creates scarcity as adoption grows.

* Halving Events: The reduction in the rate at which new Bitcoins are mined has historically tended to precede price increases. The most recent halving was in April 2024, and the next is expected around 2028.

* Market Sentiment: Positive news, regulatory clarity, and general investor optimism can drive price increases. Recent optimism appears to be linked to a potential trade agreement.

* Macroeconomic Factors: Economic uncertainty or low-interest rates can sometimes lead investors to seek alternative assets like Bitcoin.

* Institutional Investment: Inflows into Bitcoin ETFs can significantly impact demand.

Predictions and Outlook:

* Many analysts anticipate that Bitcoin could reach and surpass $100,000 in 2025. Some even have much higher targets for the year, ranging between $130,000 and $250,000 or more.

* Long-term predictions are even more ambitious, with some forecasting $1 million or more by 2030 or later.
