Bitcoin BTC, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization , has been on a roll since Donald Trump was declared the winner of the U.S. presidential elections. On Sunday, the flagship digital asset topped 81,497, climbing as much as 6.1 to set yet another all-time high after the President-elect marked a clean sweep of the seven battleground states and made the biggest political comeback in history.
Bitcoin Registers New ATH At 81,497 Amid Expectations of Further SurgesExperts are anticipating Bitcoin to further upside before the 47th President takes office on January 20, 2025, as they believe that rally has just begun and has a long way to go. In an X post, Tuur Deeester, a Bitcoin expert, wrote that traders shouldn't make any impulsive moves and "HODling" will do the work for them.
HODL is a popular crypto investment strategy that involves buying digital assets and holding onto them for an extended period, regardless of market volatility. The term stands for "Hold On for Dear Life".
Crypto analytics firm Glassnode's lead analyst, James Check, also echoed the sentiment, elaborating that although Bitcoin recorded all-time highs, the distance between its price and the 200-day Moving Average DMA is still "cooled off."
