Key Drivers Behind the Rally
Bitcoin’s Push Toward $100,000
Bitcoin is nearing the psychological milestone of $100,000**, currently trading around **$98,000. Speculation around pro-crypto policies under President-elect Donald Trump has fueled optimism. Reports suggest Trump may appoint a "crypto czar" to legitimize the sector and potentially establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, further boosting investor confidence.
Ethereum’s ETF Momentum
Ethereum’s recently approved spot ETFs have positioned it as a prime beneficiary of institutional interest. Deflationary measures (like EIP-1559) and anticipated ETF inflows are driving demand, though ETH remains 30% below its all-time high from the last bull cycle.
Dogecoin’s Speculative Appeal
Dogecoin’s gains are tied to Elon Musk’s involvement in Trump’s "Department of Government Efficiency." Rumors of Musk’s substantial DOGE holdings continue to attract speculative buyers, despite its slower rally compared to BTC and ETH.
