1. On-chain analyst Willy Woo predicts that Bitcoin is entering a phase of 'unfettered price discovery' after reaching a new resistance level of $88,000 to $91,000. He projects the next target at $102,000 based on Fibonacci retracement levels and real liquidation levels of market positions.
2. Bitcoin has surged past $89,000, propelling its market capitalization towards $2 trillion. The crypto market has also reached a new all-time high of $3.12 trillion, surpassing France's GDP and nearing the GDP of several major economies.
3. Bitcoin ETFs have seen a significant surge in investments, with $4.7 billion flowing into these funds over the past six trading days. This influx has been driven by strong institutional demand and is contributing to Bitcoin's all-time high price.
4. Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $93,400 on November 13, driven by optimism over Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance and expectations of further interest rate cuts. The Fear and Greed Index indicates 'Extreme Greed,' suggesting high confidence among investors. The upcoming US CPI data release may impact Bitcoin's momentum.
5. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have surpassed $200 billion in cumulative trading volume since their launch just three months ago. This surge is driven by the increasing investor interest in Bitcoin, particularly with the digital asset reaching new all-time highs.

7. VanEck's head of digital assets research, Matthew Sigel, predicts that institutional interest and supportive government policies could drive Bitcoin's price to $180,000 within the next year.
