Bitcoin just smashed through a new all-time high, or ATH, touching $109,400 just a few minutes ago, with some trades nearing $110,000. This pump, driven by a potent mix of macroeconomic, institutional loves, and market momentum, signals another bullish breakout soon.

reached its latest milestone. Easing US-China trade tensions have slashed geopolitical risks, making Bitcoin a prime safe-haven asset. The economic backdrop forces a risk-on sentiment, coupled with softer US inflation and a rebounding stock market.

Bitcoin’s 16% monthly gain and 46% rally from April’s low show its strength. Technicals and sentiment also align for another leg up on the upside. But how high can it climb?

Bitcoin Is The Driver, The Highway

Technically, Bitcoin’s chart is very bullish. The breakout above $109,000 has cleared key resistance levels, with the 50-day moving average trending firmly upward and sustained momentum. And its Fear and Greed Index, although at greed, hasn’t hit its top greed yet.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 70, indicating strong buying pressure without overbought conditions. Volume spikes on exchanges further confirm demand, supporting the rally’s staying power. Now, analysts are eyeing $120,000 as the next psychological target.

Easing trade tensions is a major catalyst. With US-China relations stabilizing, investors are flocking to Bitcoin as a hedge against uncertainties. This geopolitical calm has drawn money to Bitcoin, just like gold (will come back to this later), but with higher growth potential.

Economic conditions are equally supportive. Softer US inflation data has eased fears of aggressive rate hikes, creating a fertile ground for risk assets. The stock market’s recovery, up 12% this month, has spilled over into crypto, with Bitcoin as the leader.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $3.6 billion in net inflows this month, too, reflecting Wall Street’s growing appetite. High-profile purchases, like those from Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Twenty One Capital, have sparked the rally. Corporate balance sheets with Bitcoin in them show a long-term bullish signal, pushing its price toward uncharted territory.

How High Can This Go? Another Bitcoin ATH Coming This Year

Market dynamics are the final piece. Increased liquidity, coupled with lower selling pressure, has created a perfect storm for price appreciation. Exchange inflows show minimal sell-side activity, while on-chain data reveals holders accumulating.

Social media sentiment is the same, with traders celebrating Bitcoin’s 46% surge from April’s low. Some bold projections even suggest $500,000 by 2029. A pipe dream? Maybe not, especially after some scientists are able to grow gold in their labs.

We saw what happened to diamonds before. The price of a real diamond stops growing once the lab-created ones are mass-produced, something that could also happen to gold. This is what makes Bitcoin the only alternative as a store of value.

For now, Bitcoin’s path to $110,000 and beyond looks promising. With trade tensions easing, economies stabilizing, institutions piling in, and regulations turning favorable, Bitcoin’s momentum is undeniable.

While $120,000 is the immediate target, the long-term ceiling can stretch far higher. Six figures is no longer a distant dream, as adoption and scarcity drive the BTC value skyward.
