Bitcoin Outlook for $100,000: What's the Basis?

According to CoinMarketCap, bitcoin is currently trading at about $83,000, ethereum at $2,683, BNB at $765, XRP at $1.52, solana at $120, and Zcash at $1,592.

Compared with the previous day, bitcoin and BNB each fell 2%, while solana and Zcash each dropped 3%. Over the week, bitcoin and ethereum showed a modest decline of about 2%.

All three assets recorded five straight days of net inflows.

On Friday alone, spot bitcoin ETFs took in $130 million, while spot ethereum and solana ETFs each received $90 million, keeping the flows steady.

The market's correction is mainly attributed to the weakening of the strong buying that continued early last week as the week progressed.

Bitcoin ETF inflows reached about $1 billion early in the week, but fell to $130 million by Friday. As buying pressure weakened, it failed to overwhelm sell-side supply, and prices corrected.

The key point is that if prices form two bottoms and then clear a resistance level that previously capped them, the uptrend could continue.

In particular, a conditional bullish outlook was raised: if prices move above $80,000 and a double bottom is confirmed, the rally could continue toward $100,000.

Fidelity identified $80,000 as a key resistance level, but it can also serve as support, making it an important price zone.

Holding this level would mean ETF demand still exists, and if ETF inflows continue this week, the likelihood of further gains could increase.

Following last week's announcement of semimonthly dividends, MicroStrategy has now proposed paying daily dividends on four U.S.-listed preferred stocks, calculated each day and paid on the next business day.

This is read as part of a strategy to shorten the dividend cycle, reduce stock price volatility around payment dates, and ultimately secure funds for additional bitcoin purchases.

Ark Invest worked with Securitize to tokenize shares of its Ark Venture Fund on the ethereum blockchain. Instead of receiving stock directly, fund investors hold fund shares recorded on the blockchain.

The fact that a financial firm chose ethereum as the basis for operating an actual fund is seen as positive for ethereum's medium- to long-term competitiveness, and serves as an important example of its use in managing real financial products.

This is seen as an example of how a local character can combine with online fandom and digital assets to form a memecoin culture and potentially grow into a global issue.
