CryptMarket Analysis — 5-10-6
Bitcoin surged to new highs, breaking above $123,000 and fueling bullish sentiment across the crypto markets. This upswing is reinforced by robust institutional demand and a favorable macro environment, with strong ETF inflows highlighting increased appetite for assets that hedge against fiat debasement. Meanwhile, Citi forecasts Bitcoin could reach $181,000 in 2026 as ETF flows continue to drive capital into digital assets. The current rally is also benefiting altcoins, suggesting broad-based market participation and risk-on behavior among traders. Short-term momentum remains strongly positive, though volatility may increase as prices approach uncharted territory.
