Bitcoin Hits Record $124K Amid Institutional Demand

Bitcoin (BTC) surged to a historic peak of $124,400, fueled by strong institutional inflows, bullish technical indicators, and supportive U.S. regulatory changes. The crypto market cap reached $4.18 trillion as BTC broke key resistance levels, with the MACD and RSI signaling further upside potential. Despite a brief retracement to $121,800, analysts remain optimistic, citing corporate adoption (e.g., SpaceX’s $1B BTC holdings) and political tailwinds like the GENIUS Act. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1B in weekly inflows, while experts predict a potential rally toward $150K if momentum holds. The pullback is seen as consolidation rather than a reversal, with $120K acting as a new support floor.
