Bitcoin Price Today: Why is BTC up?
Regardless of the recent crashes, Bitcoin price today is up 0.17% and trades at $101,384.0. As mentioned in a previous CoinGape article, Bitcoin bounced off $99,690 support level, suggesting that the bulls are in control. Is this bounce, bullish or is it manipulation ahead of the weekend with low volume and liquidity?
Let’s find out.
*bitcoin price updated as of 11 PM.
Value of BTC trades at $101,384.0, bringing the year-to-date gain from 56% on October 20 to roughly 132% as of September 26. The YTD performance has slumped due to the recent BTC crash. Although many altcoins have shot up over triple digits, Bitcoin is catching up. Ethereum price’s YTD performance is lackluster, stands around 70%, and is well below BTC.
Although Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin’s popularity is due to its first-mover advantage and its being a secure, decentralized network. In addition, many narratives, like digital gold, inflation hedges, and uncorrelated assets, have kept BTC at the forefront of the crypto market since its inception in 2009.

Bitcoin To End 2024 on Bullish Note
Industry veterans’ speculation of a bull run post-US elections was right, and Bitcoin is likely to end 2024 on a positive note. Many even expect this six-digit target for BTC to sustained without crashes in 2025. This bullishness can be attributed to the historical returns, whihc shows that Bitcoin has always performed massively in the fourth and first quarters .
With that said, Bitcoin’s market capitalization, which stands at $2,007.2 billion, could finally hit the $2 trillion mark.
Bitcoin’s Market Capitalization
While Bitcoin’s market cap hovers around $2,007.2 billion, with Ethereum, the duo controls nearly 65% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization. Despite the seven-month consolidation, Bitcoin’s $1.93 trillion market cap remains strong, anticipating it reaching $2 trillion before 2025.
BTC: A composition of 24-hour Trading Volume
Being the top crypto has its benefits; more people tend to flock toward the asset. Likewise, BTC’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $57.4 billion. Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, contributes a major portion of this volume. Binance’s share of BTC’s 24-hour trading volume comprises spot and perpetuals trading. While spot volume hovers around 11%, perpetual volume is 41%. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, etc, follow Binance.

In the same period, BTC could reach a low of $465,154.42. Based on CoinGape predictions, the average price of BTC in 2050 is between $2.9 million and $3.3 million.
Investors should note that these long-term predictions can change and, hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.
Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Bounces Off Key Support, What’s Next?
Let’s do a top-down analysis of Bitcoin, starting from the weekly chart.
The weekly chart shows that there was a ton of buying pressure that undid the massive sell-off that occurred at the start of the week. If the weekly candlestick manages to close above $104,698, it could be a bullish signal that hints at a massive uptrend.
The daily chart shows, despite Bitcoin’s consolidation, it has managed stay above the weekly above Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Dips seen below the weekly VWAP were ephemeral, leading to quick recoveries.
While the daily chart remains bullish without a doubt, a failure to maintain this trend could lead to a reversal, albeit short-term. In such a case, BTC could crash 16% to tag the first imbalance on the daily chart, extending from $85.1k to $81.6k.
However, for now, BTC looks bullish on the daily chart as it consolidated above the $99,690 support level.
On the four-hour chart, Bitcoin looks shaky with price facing a strong selling pressure around $102k. If sellers persist and the $99.690 support level gives, then BTC could reenter the $99,690 to $90,824 range. Depending on the selling pressure, Bitcoin could stop at the POC at $97,876 or crash all the way to the range low at $90,824.
All in all, the outlook for Bitcoin looks uncertain with $99,690 still acting as a key support floor. A bounce here could propel BTC to new highs, a breakdown could send it to $90k. Regardless, With the weekend around the corner, investors need to expect liquidity runs on either side due low volumes.
