Bitcoin has surged above $118,000, setting a new all-time high at $118,403 after a 6% rise in 24 hours.
The surge led to over $425 million in short liquidations within an hour, prompting analysts to predict a target range of $150,000 to $180,000 due to strong demand.
Institutional demand, major corporate investments, and bullish forecasts have fueled Bitcoin's price momentum.
Altcoins like Ethereum, Dogecoin, and XRP have also surged, with traders reallocating capital into major altcoins driven by positive market sentiment.
