“The uncertainty of unexpected prices increases by the Trump administration causes a certain volatility,” said Gabeljic in an email in Coindesk. “However, Bitcoin remains relatively strong, with lower volatility compared to other digital assets.”
Institutional inactivity remains resilient, said Gabeljic, noting that merchants on Polymarket “priced a probability of 69% that Bitcoin will reach at least $ 120,000 by the end of the year”.
Flowdesk, a market -based market market, has echoed these optimistic perspectives despite recent moderate market conditions in a recent note on the telegram.
“The market wraps clearly, waiting to get out of a narrow strip just below the peaks of all time,” wrote Flowdesk in their market update note. “The significant repositioning and rotation of bitcoin to altcoins occurred, although the underlying force of BTC remains obvious.”
Flowdesk has also noted cautious behavior of the market, as indicated by a modest drop in BTC financing rates on major exchanges such as Binance, which suggests a reduction in leverage. However, chain loan activity has experienced renewed vigor, potentially pointing out the anticipation of an imminent market rupture.

The listed companies now hold around 809,100 BTC, worth almost $ 85 billion, almost doubling the amount held a year ago, driven by favorable regulatory changes and accounting changes that allow recognition of bitcoin gains.
“The expectation of a strong hard bitcoin remains,” said Gabeljic.
