Crypto Market Analysis & Trend: Neutral/Trending Up

In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has shown a neutral to slightly upward trend. Bitcoin’s price hit a record high over $107k with hopes of a strategic reserve, indicating positive sentiment and strong demand. Additionally, there is optimism about Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum under the Trump administration, which further contributes to the positive outlook. This positive sentiment is reinforced by predictions from experts like Peter Brandt, who foresee Bitcoin reaching $125k and the CEO of CoinShares, who believes in the potential for Ethereum. The mention of Trump’s serious consideration of a Bitcoin reserve and MicroStrategy’s encouragement to buy BTC further fuels positive sentiment.

However, amidst these positive factors, some negative sentiment exists. The mention of Bybit facing service shutdown for French users and negative news related to price and laundering network contributes to the negative sentiment observed in the market.
