Bitcoin Breaks $100,000: Driving Factors and Market Sentiment
Bitcoin has broken through $100,000 as expected, driven by a strong bullish trend in the US stock market. The rise in US stocks has directly pushed Bitcoin's price upwards. At the same time, the digital currency market has also shown positive liquidity, with net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs reaching 7,800 units, all of which provide strong support for Bitcoin's breakthrough of $100,000.
Technical Aspect: Challenge of the Head and Shoulders Pattern
On a technical level, although Bitcoin has broken through the key psychological level of $100,000, attention must still be paid to the formation of the right shoulder of the head and shoulders pattern. The right shoulder may not necessarily form, after all, Bitcoin has broken through the previous key resistance level of $100,000, and these price level breakthroughs can be viewed as a boundary between bulls and bears.
Furthermore, the position of $100,004 is at the Fibonacci 0.782 level. If Bitcoin can firmly hold above this position, the probability of reaching a new high in January or breaking through recent highs will significantly increase.
