Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around $106,698.86, maintaining its position near highs from January close to $110,000, a phenomenon that some analysts liken to the market’s previous peaks in 2021.
“The market dynamics between 2021 and today are completely different,” said Jeff Anderson, head of Asia at STS Digital. “BTC is evolving into a treasury asset, so it is very difficult to extrapolate chart patterns onto an asset undergoing massive structural changes.”
Price Action: The stability of bitcoin around $105,000 amidst ongoing conflicts between Iran and Israel indicates strong buying engagement, as a market resistant to negative news often signals long-term bullish positions.
Institutional Adoption: According to QCP Capital, institutional interest continues to bolster BTC’s price. The overall sentiment appears to stabilize as it holds above the significant level of $100,000, despite the recent geopolitical upheaval.
