Bitcoin’s Surge: Is $100K Just Around the Corner?

by
  • Bitcoin is now valued at $94,281.57, inching closer to the $95K resistance level.
  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a flood of $3B in inflows, marking the second-highest since inception.

On April 27, 2025, Bitcoin’s price is lingering at $94,281.57, which means it’s been stuck in a mild decline of 0.76% over the last 24 hours. Oh, but don’t worry—it’s been quite the week, rising by 10.65%. Yet, each day seems to bring a little dip, as the mighty cryptocurrency nears the almost mythical $95,000 barrier, a psychological hurdle that has everyone from casual investors to hedge fund managers sweating bullets. 📉

It’s no surprise that such price action is happening amid a tidal wave of institutional capital pouring into Bitcoin ETFs. A mind-boggling $3 billion flowed in for the week ending April 25, marking the second-largest weekly inflow since these ETFs first saw the light of day. It’s also the first full week of consistent inflows in five weeks, hinting that, just maybe, the institutional crowd is warming up to the idea of this digital gold. 🤑

Institutional Frenzy Fuels Bitcoin Surge – $100K Breakout in Sight

The spot Bitcoin ETFs are showing clear signs of institutional interest, especially for the week ending April 25. A whopping 35,500 BTC were added to custodial reserves, largely driven by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with a massive $1.4 billion in inflows. Now that’s a fat stack! That helped push the total to $3.06 billion, which isn’t exactly chump change. The floodgates are opening, my friends. 🏦

This recent surge is also evidenced by Bitcoin reaching a new high of $94,700 since March 2, a level we haven’t seen in a while—April 23, to be exact. As the institutional demand keeps climbing, Bitcoin’s supply is being gobbled up quicker than free food at a tech conference. This, of course, keeps the pressure on the price to keep moving up. 🚀

But don’t get too comfy. The $95,000 mark remains a stubborn obstacle. If Bitcoin manages to break through it, brace yourself for a potential rally towards the golden $100,000—something we’ve all been eyeing ever since Bitcoin last hit its all-time high of $108,000 in December 2024. If not, there could be a bit of a pullback, with support hovering at $90,000. If that doesn’t hold, well, the 200-day Simple Moving Average sits at a cozy $88,690, ready to catch any falling stars. 🌠

Technical Indicators Signal Bullish Trends

As of now, Bitcoin’s price is comfortably above its key technical indicators—this is fueling the optimism among bulls. Bitcoin’s comfortably cruising above the 200-day simple moving average, which has historically served as a reliable support level during bullish phases. The last time it crossed this threshold in October 2024, it saw an 80% rally to the previous peak. Not too shabby, eh? 📈

The Binance order book shows tight bids at $94,279.99 and asks at $94,999.99—indicating a lot of interest in this price range. And get this, the 24-hour trading volume is an eye-popping 23,789.695 BTC, equivalent to over $2.3 billion. Someone’s doing some serious business. 💼

Speaking of serious business, the inflows to exchanges have dropped to 45,000 BTC as of April 23, down from a high of 97,940 BTC in February. This suggests that investors are holding tight rather than selling off, lending further weight to the belief that the ‘HODL’ mentality is back in full force.

This bullish mood has, in part, been propelled by global economic factors. The increased inflows into Bitcoin ETFs echo trends we saw with gold after 2008. Investors are flocking to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, and who can blame them? Especially after February and March CPI prints showed inflation beating expectations. At this point, Bitcoin is almost becoming the digital safe haven. 😎

And now, here’s the kicker: Bitcoin’s market cap is estimated at a staggering $1.87 trillion. That places it comfortably as the fifth-largest asset in the world. Not bad for something that was worth next to nothing a decade ago, right? 💰
