Since Donald Trump became president, Bitcoin (BTC) has had a series of ups and downs, with the price falling more than 28% from the all-time high of $106K to around $75K. However, it has now rebounded quite remarkably, and some folks (like this author) who are Bitcoin bulls and believe in the digital asset’s potential are hopeful and even somewhat confident about the big breakout to $94K and beyond. This was an unexpected breakout event for the digital asset, and it’s happening at a time when the world is more divided and in conflict than ever. Bitcoin's unexpected breakout has flipped the script for the crypto community. Data shows a surge in optimism from the crowd as $BTC rebounded above $95K for the first time since February. As for the level of greed being measured across social media, this is the highest spike… pic.twitter.com/cbdEt41xo4 — Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 25, 2025 Rising Macro Tensions and Institutional Support Fuel Bitcoin’s Rebound Bitcoin’s resurgence above $95K comes in a globally uncertain macroeconomic environment. The tariff wars, rising geopolitical tensions, and inflation worries have cast a pall of fear and instability over the old-school financial markets. This kind of atmosphere has often been very good for Bitcoin, presumed by many to be a “safe-haven” asset during times of unease. Gold has long held that same mantle, but Bitcoin is now clearly in the conversation. And if things keep going the way they have been, the conversation might get a lot louder. It is not only the state of the macroeconomy that has brought Bitcoin back. The recovery has, in large part, been driven by a huge uptick in institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. Heavyweights such as BlackRock have continued to shove force into Bitcoin and the crypto space writ large. Their recent participation in the recovery, along with the much-wanted movement toward institutional adoption of Bitcoin ETFs, has added a level of street cred and stability to the market that had been largely absent. As Bitcoin has recovered as high as $95.8K today, we are seeing the highest week of net inflows to $BTC ETF's since the week before Trump's inauguration in mid-January. Institutions like Blackrock have played a large part in the crypto-wide bounce traders were waiting for. pic.twitter.com/jUxNM8wo75 — Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 25, 2025 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted an enormous $380 million in net inflows for the week ending April 25, 2025, marking the highest weekly net inflows since the week before Trump’s inauguration in mid-January. This trend is signaling something very positive for Bitcoin. It suggests that the interest in Bitcoin as a legitimate financial asset is going mainstream, especially among the kinds of large institutional players who presumably also have a lot of influence over retail investor sentiment. On April 25, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $380 million, marking six consecutive days of net inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw a total net inflow of $104 million, with no net outflows across all nine ETFs. https://t.co/Hj2Gs49bWa — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 26, 2025 The Crowd’s Growing Optimism and Rising Greed When Bitcoin soared over the $95,000 mark, there was a marked increase in the overall optimism of the crypto community. While the price of Bitcoin never dipped below $88,000 from November 20 to December 31, 2024, the sentiment surrounding crypto in general had many people thinking it was DOA (dead on arrival) for any chance of a near-term price recovery. On Christmas Day, Bitcoin’s price was at $91,550. Then it climbed to… Despite the growing optimism about the market, some analysts have raised concerns that this could simply be a sign of an incipient top, with excessive greed and hubris fueling the latest rally. For the Bitcoin price to keep going up, there needs to be a sufficient base of retail investors willing to purchase the leading cryptocurrency. If too many traders try to take profits, it creates an opportunity for the institutional investors and whales who have been buying up the lower dips in Bitcoin to push the price up even further. The crowd’s sentiment is crucial in deciding whether Bitcoin can carry on with its present momentum or must soon retrace its steps. If the market gets too greedy and retail traders rush to take profits, we may see a temporary pullback in Bitcoin’s price. On the other hand, if the market remains patient and controlled greed is the order of the day, we could see Bitcoin push further into the uncharted territory of prices it has not seen before. In either case, sentiment is of the utmost importance. Bitcoin’s Future Outlook: Will $100K Be Within Reach? With Bitcoin approaching $95K, the question on many investors’ minds is whether the cryptocurrency can keep up its current trajectory and finally break through the $100K barrier. The road to $100K may not be without its bumps, but the combination of strong institutional support, an increasingly worrisome macroeconomic picture, and a steadily rising tide of retail and institutional investors gives Bitcoin a solid foundation to continue its upward movement. To conclude, the crypto space has been revitalized by Bitcoin’s recent surge, with both retail and institutional investors looking to the cryptocurrency as an all-but-certain store of value. We’re at the highest levels of market optimism and institutional inflows since Trump was inaugurated, and now it’s time for Bitcoin to take a crucial test—can it either maintain this momentum or avoid a serious retracement? At this point, with a stronger than ever market position, only a severe plot twist could deny Bitcoin’s re-ascendance. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.
