Bitcoin has surged almost 20% over the past month, surpassing US$100k for the first time since February and potentially heading towards new all-time highs.
Bitfinex analysts believe that Bitcoin's breakout is due to strong momentum and predict it will outperform equities and other risk assets as macroeconomic factors become prominent.
Institutional demand, rather than retail speculation, is driving Bitcoin's price movement, with ETF flows showing a steady allocation trend from institutions.
Major Bitcoin buyers are accumulating, as evidenced by US spot Bitcoin ETFs receiving nearly US$1 billion in inflows last week, and companies like Strategy adding 13,390 BTC for US$1.34 billion.
