Synopsis
The crypto market surged on Wednesday, with Bitcoin reaching $92,793 before settling at $92,464, marking a 6.28% gain in 24 hours. Ethereum rose 5.5% to $2,294, while Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin saw gains of up to 8%.
Bitcoin crossed the $90,000 mark following Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s statement about President Trump’s plan to establish a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Investors see this as a major step toward institutional adoption, fueling speculation that BTC could soon hit $100,000.
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, said, “If implemented, this reserve could legitimize Bitcoin as a strategic asset, potentially driving prices toward $100,000 or higher while prompting a more transparent regulatory framework.” This could lead to policy shifts from regulatory bodies like the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, increasing institutional confidence.

Several factors are contributing to Bitcoin’s recent surge:
Trump’s crypto reserve plan: The announcement of a federal crypto reserve signals a major policy shift favoring digital assets. Investors see this as a step toward institutional adoption and regulatory clarity.
Upcoming crypto summit: Anticipation is building around Trump’s White House summit on crypto, where officials are expected to discuss regulatory frameworks and institutional participation.
Regulatory developments: The potential approval of new legislation, including a bipartisan stablecoin bill and SEC-backed exchange-traded products, has further fueled optimism.
Market dynamics: Bitcoin has seen volatile price action recently, briefly exceeding $94,000 before a sharp dip below $83,000. However, continued investor enthusiasm suggests sustained bullish momentum.

Market outlook
Despite market volatility, analysts see strong support for Bitcoin at $87,600, with resistance at $94,000. “If institutions regain confidence, Bitcoin could approach $100,000. However, if resistance holds, BTC may consolidate between $85,000 and $92,000 or correct toward $82,000,” said Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO of Unocoin.
With institutional interest growing and regulatory clarity on the horizon, Bitcoin’s path to $100,000 appears increasingly plausible. Investors now look to the upcoming crypto summit for further policy direction that could shape the market’s future trajectory.
