This week Bitcoin broke $100,000, and as always, it happened 'unexpectedly', especially for those who were shorting the market until yesterday with the view of a great strategist. Sorry, but if you still haven't understood in 2025 that MicroStrategy is not buying for NFTs with cats, maybe you’ve been sleeping too long.
What they feared, they got — growth!
Let's remember: just a couple of weeks ago, Bitcoin was moving sideways, holding onto the $90,000 level like a student holding onto a test. But then — boom! — $100,000! Why?
The answer is simple:
• MicroStrategy has bought again.
• ETF flows continue to pour in
• And yes, all of this is against the backdrop of 'experienced traders' sitting in shorts because 'it’s overheated'.
Maybe instead of technical analysis, it's time to start analyzing the news?
Altcoins: awakening
While Bitcoin takes all the attention, altcoins are quietly sharpening their teeth. What does the market say?
• Ethereum ($3,300): old man ETH is holding strong. Institutions love it, DeFi is back in fashion, and Layer-2 projects are multiplying faster than promises in a campaign.
• Solana ($170): when meme coins on SOL are gathering millions, and the network isn't crashing — that’s already a miracle. Target? $300. Why not.
• FLOKI & DOGE: Yes, memes again. Because if monkeys can be worth millions, then dogs are no worse.
And here’s the cherry on top: the altseason index jumped from 23 to 36 in a week. This means that people are massively moving from BTC to altcoins. Sound familiar? This is what happened before the pump in 2021. Only now the scales are different.
Who is losing?
Those who are losing are:
• Shorted BTC at $90,000.
• Waiting for the 'perfect entry'.
• Still arguing on Twitter about whether crypto has real value.
Meanwhile, while they argue, altcoins are growing, market capitalization is pouring in, and the market is going where the profit is, not where it’s 'fair'.
Where is all this leading?
Here are the dry numbers:
• BTC dominance is falling: from 55.3% to 53.8%. This means — the redistribution in favor of alts is starting.
• Volumes on SOL and ETH are at multi-month highs.
• The market capitalization of altcoins is ready for explosive growth.
So?
We are at the beginning of something big. And as always, the majority of 'pros' will once again be playing catch-up. Because the market loves to punish the doubters and generously reward those who believe before others.
