Why Is Bitcoin Price Up Today?
Bitcoin price today is up 1.88% today and currently auctions around $92,309.0 on November 18, 2024. This bullish outlook is due to the recent breakout from the $75k hurdle and the seven-month consolidation, allowing buyers to push BTC higher. The overall trend remains bullish, with a few altcoins shooting higher.
*bitcoin price updated as of 11 PM.
Price of BTC trades at $92,309.0, bringing the year-to-date gain from 56% on October 20 to 108% as of November 18. Although many altcoins have shot up in excess of triple digits, Bitcoin is catching up. Ethereum price’s YTD performance is lackluster, stands at 39%, and is well below BTC.
Although Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin’s popularity is due to its first-mover advantage and its being a secure, decentralized network. In addition, many narratives, like digital gold, inflation hedges, and uncorrelated assets, have kept BTC at the forefront of the crypto market since its inception in 2009.
Bitcoin Price Eyes Bullish End to 2024
Industry veterans’ speculation of a bull run post-US elections was right and Bitcoin is likely to end November and 2024 on a positive note. Many even expect a six-digit target for BTC by the end of November and is due to the historical returns. History shows that Bitcoin has always performed massively in the fourth quarter.
With that said, if Bitcoin price hits a new ATH in November or December, Bitcoin’s market capitalization, which stands at $1,825.6 billion could push toward the $2 trillion mark.
Bitcoin: The Largest Cryptocurrency
While Bitcoin’s market cap hovers around $1,825.6 billion, with Ethereum, the duo controls nearly 65% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization which stands at $2.40 trillion. Despite the seven-month consolidation, Bitcoin’s $1.3 trillion market cap remains strong with anticipation of it reaching $2 trillion in 2025.
BTC’s 24-hour Trading Volume
Being the top crypto has its benefits; more people tend to flock toward the asset. Likewise, BTC’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $79.2 billion. With a major portion of this volume being contributed by Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Binance’s share of BTC’s 24-hour trading volume is made up of spot and perpetuals trading. While spot volume hovers around 11%, perpetual volume stands at 41%. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, etc, follow Binance.
Bitcoin Blockchain Upgrades
With a market cap of $1.3 trillion, it is necessary for the network to remain secure, decentralized and scalable. This is possible by upgrading the Bitcoin network on a regular basis.
Here are some notable upgrades the Bitcoin network has received or planned to receive since its inception in 2009.

The bullish explosive trend noted up to 2029 will continue for BTC based on CoinGape predictions and potentially push the average price of BTC in 2050 between $2.9 million and $3.3 million. Investors should note that these long-term predictions can change and, hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.
Will Bitcoin Price Hit $100,000 Before November Ends?
The seven-month consolidation that Bitcoin underwent between March and November 2024, created a range. This range extended from roughly $59K to $69K with the highest traded volume level formed at $63K. A breakout from this sideways movement was followed by a retest of $69K, which in hindsight seems to have provided support to propel BTC to new highs.
The resulting spike in buying pressure around $69K was followed by a near-40% rally to new all-time high of $93,400.
After the explosion move BTC has been moving slowly, but climbing higher and so is the Open Interest (OI). With the price and OI producing higher highs, it would signal that buyers are active. However, a closer look at CVD aka Cumulative Volume Delta shows that it is the other way around. A drop in CVD with rising price and OI indicates profit-taking. This bearish divergence suggests that there might be a short-term correction.
For a Bitcoin price forecast of $100,000, BTC needs to correct. The above sell signal could be the key to accumulating Bitcoins at a discount. The daily imbalance at $85,150 could be a good place to accumulate BTC and is a place where unfilled buy orders are likely to be present. So, a dip into this level could provide the necessary demand to propel BTC’s value to hit $100,000.
Although it is unlikely that BTC might visit $100,000 in the next two weeks, aka in November, especially after the recent 40% move. During the December holidays, when the orderbooks and liquidity are thin, $100K seems more than likely.
On the other hand, if Bitcoin price slips below $70K without a proper support form bulls, it could invalidate the bullish thesis and potentially trigger a 9% crash to $63K.
