Bitcoin had its highest daily close at $68,245 on March 4, beating its previous record close of $67,525 on Nov. 8, 2021. The world’s first cryptocurrency is up over 18% on the weekly and 55% on the monthly chart.
Does this mean that theBitcoin (BTC) price is on track to reach $100,000 by the end of the year? Some analysts are expecting even higher price levels, while others are anticipating a local top at the all-time high price resistance of $69,000.

The new price-agnostic demand introduced by United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will help the world’s largest crypto breach its previous all-time high, according to a research report by Bitfinex analysts, shared with Cointelegraph. Notably:
“Our analysis forecasts a conservative price objective of $100,000-$120,000 to be achieved by Q4 2024, and the cycle peak to be achieved sometime in 2025 in terms of total crypto market capitalization.”BTC/USD 1-Day Chart, Source: CoinMarketCap
Bitcoin rose 2.85% in the 24 hours to 9:25 am UTC to trade at $66,799. Bitcoin’s price was inches away from $69,000 on March 5 but stopped $150 short of breaching its all-time high and psychological price level.
While Bitcoin price typically consolidates immediately after the quadrennial halving events, its best performance comes the following year, which could help Bitcoin breach above the $100,000 mark, Vetle Lunde, a senior analyst at K33 Research, told Cointelegraph.
“Based purely on data from past performance and the diminishing impact of halving rallies, Bitcoin could see a 130–150% rally in the year following the halving, which would lead to a peak in the range of $125,000–$150,000 in 2025.”
Bitcoin’s bullish price action comes a day after the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, MicroStrategy, announced that it will raise $600 million as part of its plans to buy more BTC. The funds will be issued in the form of senior convertible notes, according to a March 4 X post by its executive chairman, Michael Saylor.
