Bitcoin is surging to new heights, driven by a perfect storm of market optimism following Donald Trump's presidential election victory and the possibility of a Republican sweep in Congress.

The result? A meteoric rise in Bitcoin’s price pushed it above historic highs and into uncharted territory.

Investors are pinning their hopes on the new administration's potential to support the cryptocurrency industry, with some even predicting that Bitcoin could become part of the U.S. strategic foreign exchange reserves.

With demand now pushing the crypto toward the $90,000 mark, the question arises: are we nearing a local correction, or is the next target $100k?

Rising Optimism Fuels Bitcoin's Surge: $100k in Sight

As the dust settles from the U.S. election, analysts are becoming increasingly bullish on Bitcoin’s future. Predictions are now pouring in, with some suggesting a target price of $200,000 by the end of 2025.

This optimism is underpinned by solid data: post-election, Bitcoin ETFs saw a record one-day inflow of $1.38 billion, with total inflows now approaching $1.8 billion.

With Bitcoin’s market capitalization surpassing $1.7 trillion and daily trading volumes nearly doubling to over $90 billion, the appetite for the cryptocurrency is clearly growing.

Yet, while the long-term outlook remains bullish, some experts are cautioning about a potential short-term correction.

CryptoQuant’s CEO, Ki Yoon Joo, highlights that the current market is the most heavily leveraged in history, with $53 billion in leveraged positions.

If investors start taking profits, we could see a deeper pullback—but this wouldn’t alter Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.

Technical Indicators: Is a Correction Looming?

Bitcoin’s price action has hit a key juncture. The $90,000 region is showing signs of a double-top formation, suggesting that a short-term correction could be in the cards.

If Bitcoin drops below $85,000, this could confirm the beginning of a pullback, with significant support levels around $77,000 and $73,000 offering potential entry points for traders looking to buy the dip.

However, if Bitcoin climbs past the $90,000 mark, the rally is likely to continue, setting the stage for a test of the psychological $100,000 level. The bullish momentum is still strong, and these short-term corrections could simply offer opportunities for fresh entries.

Ethereum Follows Suit: Record Inflows and Strong Support

It’s not just Bitcoin that’s catching investors’ attention. Ethereum is also seeing a surge, with record inflows of $295.48 million on November 11.

ETH Price Chart

Ethereum is rebounding after defending the $3,400 support level, and the next key support zone for Ethereum lies around $2,800. For traders looking to go long, this could be an ideal entry point as Ethereum looks set to continue its upward trajectory alongside Bitcoin.
