BTC price tipped for “stab at” $100,000
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView recorded solid BTC price performance, with BTC/USD reaching $97,539 on Bitstamp.
Bitcoin (BTC) continued a comeback from $90,800 seen days prior, and its ongoing resilience returned calls for an attack on $100,000 to come soon.
For commentator Byzantine General, lower open interest (OI) levels on exchanges furthered the short-term bull case.
“Open interest reset, support held up. Looks to me like we’re gonna take out the local highs and potentially take a stab at piercing 100k,” he wrote in a post on X.
“A lot of the passive supply already got taken out the previous attempt, so there’s a pretty good chance that we see 100k soon.”

Trader Jelle confirmed that a six-figure BTC price tag was “in sight.”
“Bitcoin is pushing for a breakout,” he told X followers on Nov. 29, uploading a chart showing the price attempting to push through a downward-sloping trend line in place since its most recent all-time highs of $99,800 seen on Nov. 22.

Jelle further likened current price action to the breakout in October 2023, when BTC/USD pushed through $30,000 to ultimately continue to new all-time highs five months later.

“A $100K $BTC is in reaching distance,” fellow trader Daan Crypto Trades agreed.
“Going to take some time getting used to a 6 figure Bitcoin. But I like it.”
“Superior” Bitcoin seen copying gold

As Cointelegraph previously reported, one theory revolves around BTC price action trailing gold by around three months.
Updating X followers on the topic, Charles Edwards, founder of quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments, had good news for bulls.
“In just 16 weeks, gold gained $3.8T this summer. Bitcoin from $100K to $200K is just $2T,” he calculated.
“So it wouldn’t be surprising to see $200K Bitcoin in 4-12 weeks from a strong $100K breakout. After all, BTC is a superior, more liquid, fungible and divisible asset that trades 24/7.”
