Recently, the continuous rise in Bitcoin prices has been notable. Since Bitcoin reached a historic high of $80,000 on November 10, it has continued to climb, now approaching $90,000, with a peak of $89,800 as of today (November 12). This article will analyze the reasons behind the recent surge in Bitcoin from multiple perspectives.
Market Trends and Historical Trends
According to market analyst Peter Brandt, the price movement of Bitcoin resembles past bull market processes, indicating that the current rise in Bitcoin has historical trends. Peter Brandt stated that based on Bayesian probability theory, BTC could reach $125,000 by the end of 2024. Note: Bayesian probability is a theory that predicts future events based on historical data, helping traders set target prices amid uncertainty.
Market analysis shows that after breaking through key resistance levels, market sentiment remains optimistic. The increase in trading volume and market activity indicates that investor confidence in Bitcoin is strengthening. Currently, BTC continues to rise, with a trading volume of $176.3 billion in the past 24 hours, and a circulating market cap reaching $1.76 trillion for the first time, with a market share increase of 2.55%. Currently, BTC's total market cap accounts for 59.01%.
Political and Regulatory Environment
The recent results of the U.S. elections have also influenced Bitcoin's price movement. Trump's victory is seen as positive news for the cryptocurrency industry, as his policies tend to support and promote the development of cryptocurrencies.
Market expectations suggest that under Trump's administration, the U.S. may reduce regulatory pressure on cryptocurrencies, bringing more growth opportunities to the market. The potential passage of a stablecoin bill and the change in leadership at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also viewed as potential positive factors. These policy changes could attract more institutional investors to Bitcoin and the entire crypto market, further driving market growth.
Institutional Investors Continue to Enter
The participation of large institutional investors like MicroStrategy is also a significant reason for the rise in Bitcoin prices. MicroStrategy purchased approximately 27,200 Bitcoins for about $2.03 billion between October 31 and November 10, marking the company's largest Bitcoin transaction since December 2020. The average purchase price of these Bitcoins was around $74,463, bringing its total holdings to 279,420 Bitcoins. This accumulation not only demonstrates institutional confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value but also injects substantial liquidity into the market.

The involvement of institutional investors is also reflected in the futures and options markets. Data shows that the rise in futures premiums and the increase in open interest in the options market indicate a strong expectation for Bitcoin prices to continue rising.

Especially at key price points like $90,000 and $100,000, the open interest in the options market has reached new highs, reflecting investors' optimistic outlook on Bitcoin's future movements.
Macroeconomic Benefits
Changes in the macroeconomic environment are also an important factor in the rise of Bitcoin prices. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts have increased market liquidity, which is generally seen as favorable for risk assets. As inflationary pressures rise, more and more investors view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, further driving its demand.
It is worth noting that historical data shows Bitcoin tends to experience significant price increases in the fourth quarter of each year. This seasonal trend also provides a positive psychological expectation for the market, further encouraging investor buying behavior.
Conclusion
The recent rise in Bitcoin is the result of multiple factors working together. From technical analysis to the political environment, from institutional investor participation to macroeconomic influences, each factor is driving the increase in Bitcoin prices. As the market continues to develop, Bitcoin may maintain its upward trend and reach higher price targets. Investors should remain vigilant and pay attention to market movements to seize potential investment opportunities.
