Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $122,000 on Monday, coming within 1% of its all-time high of $123,218. The rally has been fueled by high spot Bitcoin ETF inflows, renewed corporate accumulation, and a pro-crypto policy shift from the White House.
On the corporate front, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy signaled continued Bitcoin purchases, expanding its already massive $76.8 billion treasury. Henrik Andersson, CIO at Apollo Crypto, described the move above $122K as “just a matter of time” after a month-long consolidation between $115K and $120K.
Technical indicators remain bullish. The daily RSI sits at 67.7, signaling strong momentum without entering overbought territory, while the MACD has posted a bullish crossover.
Analysts believe a decisive break above $123K could trigger algorithmic buying and retail FOMO, pushing BTC toward the $126K–$129K range.
Despite the bullish trend, sentiment remains measured. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stands at 70/100, indicating enthusiasm but avoiding extreme euphoria. Google search interest for Bitcoin has also risen modestly, suggesting room for further retail participation.
With institutional inflows strong, corporate adoption rising, and regulatory clarity improving, analysts say Bitcoin is well-positioned for another leg higher. A clean break above $123K could open the door to $130K in the near term, and potentially $150K by year-end if macroeconomic conditions remain favorable.
