The global crypto market cap surged 5.68% to $2.77 trillion as 24 - hour volume spiked 89.32% to $196.43 billion, with stablecoins accounting for 94.12% of trading. Amid a confluence of positive factors like the US - UK trade deal, US states' embrace of Bitcoin (New Hampshire's reserve authorization and Arizona's investment allowance), and institutional buying spree (MicroStrategy's continued purchases and Metaplanet's additional acquisitions),This, along with a dovish stance from central banks hinting at potential rate cuts, is setting the stage for further significant price rallies. Quick Take 1. Trade Tensions Easing Powers Bitcoin's Return Above $100,000, Bullish Outlook Intensifies 2. Three Forces Propelling Bitcoin's Next $20,000 Price Surge 3. Bitcoin Hits Three-Month High Amid Optimism Fueled by U.K.-U.S. Trade Deal 4. Investor Sentiment and Market Risks   Trade Tensions Easing Powers Bitcoin's Return Above $100,000, Bullish Outlook Intensifies   After a substantial decline, Bitcoin has reclaimed the $100,000 mark. Fueled by news of eased US trade tensions, it rose for two consecutive days, rebounding above this key level, with Ethereum also seeing a significant upward movement.   Market analysts attribute this rally to the shift in market sentiment towards risk - friendly assets. The easing of trade tensions and Trump's negotiation signals have boosted the appeal of risky assets like Bitcoin. Analysts also note that psychologically important price levels like $100,000 may prompt short - term profit - taking and potential consolidation. A Standard Chartered analyst, who earlier predicted Bitcoin would reach $120,000 in the second quarter, now deems this forecast too conservative. Inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and moves by large investors, such as MicroStrategy's increased purchases, suggest more institutional capital is flowing in, indicating a change in Bitcoin's market narrative.   Three Forces Propelling Bitcoin's Next $20,000 Price Surge   Bitcoin's price surge potential is driven by three major factors. Firstly, the expanding global liquidity, with central banks like the ECB, Bank of England loosening credit and the Fed likely continuing rate cuts, makes it easier for investors to access credit. This influx of funds historically fuels Bitcoin price hikes and is expected to do so again.   Secondly, growing sovereign and institutional adoption is a significant catalyst. The U.S. plan for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, along with other countries considering similar policies, strains the supply. Corporations such as Tesla holding Bitcoin and U.S. banks now being allowed to include it on their balance sheets further reduce the available supply, driving up prices.   Finally, retail investors remain actively buying Bitcoin despite its high price. With most of the supply held at a profit, they have little incentive to sell, acting as net buyers. Combined, these factors create a robust bullish scenario, making a $20,000 price increase in Bitcoin likely within the next few quarters. Bitcoin Hits Three-Month High Amid Optimism Fueled by U.K.-U.S. Trade Deal   At 0817 GMT, Bitcoin soared to its loftiest point since late January. The catalyst behind this surge was the trade deal announced on Thursday between the United Kingdom and the United States. This development has ignited a wave of optimism, with market participants believing that trade tensions are set to gradually abate.   Patrick Munnelly, an analyst at Tickmill Group, pointed out that the trade deal holds significant importance. It comes on the heels of President Trump's earlier announcement of a 90 - day halt on trade tariffs aimed at promoting negotiations. This new agreement has not only given Bitcoin a boost but also contributed to an increase in oil prices. Munnelly explained, "The trade accord between the U.S. and Britain has instilled hope that similar progress can be achieved in tariff negotiations with other countries."   According to data from LSEG, Bitcoin witnessed a notable rally. It climbed 0.9% to reach $103,599, having previously touched a peak of $104,324.39, marking a significant milestone in its recent price trajectory. (jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)   Investor Sentiment and Market Risks Despite the optimism surrounding Bitcoin's price surge, the cryptocurrency market is not without its risks. In the past 24 hours, the total amount of funds lost due to forced liquidations in the cryptocurrency market reached $355 million, with a large number of short - term traders being caught off - guard by the sudden price increase. This serves as a reminder of the high - risk nature of cryptocurrency trading, where rapid price fluctuations can lead to significant losses for unprepared investors.   On the other hand, long - term investors seem undeterred. Many view Bitcoin's recent price movement as a sign of its growing maturity and acceptance as a legitimate asset class. The increasing number of companies and institutions integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategies, such as Japanese firm Metaplanet's continued Bitcoin acquisitions, further validates this perspective.   As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, Bitcoin's performance will undoubtedly remain a key barometer of market sentiment. Whether it can sustain its upward momentum or will experience a correction remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: the cryptocurrency space will continue to be a hotbed of innovation, investment, and risk in the global financial landscape.

Key Takeaways Macro Environment: In early U.S. trading, Trump once again urged investors to "buy stocks," followed by the revelation of his pre-announced major news—the U.S. and U.K. reached a tariff agreement. Market risk appetite surged, leading to two consecutive days of gains in U.S. stocks, a plunge in U.S. Treasuries, and two straight days of declines for gold. In late trading, reports emerged that Trump plans to raise taxes on ultra-high-income earners, narrowing the gains of the three major indices. Crypto Market: Sentiment in the crypto market has picked up significantly, buoyed by macro news, with bitcoin hitting the $100,000 mark again after three months. Bitcoin's correlation with U.S. stocks has weakened significantly of late, suggesting that crypto market sentiment is starting to move away from traditional financial market influences after breaking through the psychological $100,000 mark. Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC exchange rate rallied back to 0.021, with Bitcoin's market dominance dropping by 1.38% YoY from yesterday, reflecting the start of capital rotation towards the torrents sector. The market showed a generalized upward pattern, with the AI Agent and meme sectors leading the way for the cottage coin market. However, the share of trading volume in the cottage coin sector remained at a nearly one-year low of 54.7%, indicating that market funds are still relatively cautious and the overall sentiment of the cottage coin sector is still to be further repaired.
