Bitcoin is surging once again, hitting $96,400 this week — its highest level since February — and bringing the elusive $100,000 mark back into sight.
Analysts point to strong institutional interest and massive inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs as the primary drivers of this breakout. “This move was expected,” said eToro’s Simon Peters. “Bitcoin consolidated at $95K and is now showing classic breakout behavior.”
The crypto asset is now less than 15% below its all-time high of $109,400. On April 22, ETFs recorded one of their largest single-day inflows, signaling growing confidence from major investors.
Macro conditions are also playing a role. Persistent inflation and uncertainty around interest rates are pushing investors toward alternative assets. Bitcoin is regaining appeal as a hedge — especially ahead of its upcoming halving event, which has historically led to price surges.
As crypto infrastructure strengthens and regulatory clarity improves, optimism is building. Though volatility remains part of the game, sentiment is bullish — and $100K, once a dream, now looks within reach.
