Bitcoin, Hype Hit All

After four months of waiting,关键字1 consolidation, several price crashes and subsequent rebounds, Bitcoin investors finally got what they wanted a few days ago when the asset broke its January all-time high of around $109,100.

It wasn’t a smooth journey, nowhere near that. In the past week alone, BTC challenged the $107,000 resistance on a few occasions, but it was stopped and pushed south violently on Monday and Tuesday.

However, the bulls were more persistent; they kept driving the cryptocurrency north, and the now former peak gave in on Wednesday. After another unsuccessful attempt during the morning trading session, BTC went hard on the offensive in the afternoon and shot above the previous record. It neared $110,000 but was quickly stopped and dropped by several grand.

However, that was another short-term pullback as the bulls returned in full force, pushing the asset past $110,000 and toward a new all-time high of $112,000 (on Bitstamp) registered yesterday – on Bitcoin Pizza Day.

The cryptocurrency lost some steam in the following hours but still maintained around $111,000. Then came US President Trump’s renewed tariff warnings. He proposed a 50% straight tax on all countries in the European Union, as the organization had become a bad partner, according to the POTUS.

BTC reacted immediately with a price slump of $3,500 but has recovered some ground and now sits close to $109,000. This puts its weekly gains at 5%, which is better than ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and many others.

However, the altcoins have a new superstar in the face of HYPE, which also skyrocketed to a new all-time high earlier today. HYPE has gained more than 30% since this time last week.
