Bitcoin hit $87,000 in a sustained post-election rally toward new frontiers.
Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new high on November 11, breaking several new price levels throughout the day. The furious rally on post-election price discovery continued, hitting a record high of $87,450.
As of press time, the leading cryptocurrency is trading at $87,169, up nearly 10% in the day and around 25% since Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 US election on November 6.
Bitcoin’s surge also led to a broader market rally, with many altcoins reaching regional highs and some reaching price discovery alongside Bitcoin.
Some speculate that this surge is a sign that retail is returning to the market. But Coinbase is well below the top 10 apps on iOS, while searches for “Bitcoin” on Google are well below the levels reached at the peak of the 2021 bull run.
Analysts believe the current surge is mostly an aftereffect of the “Trump trade” and is largely driven by people “FOMOing” into Bitcoin after selling at previous highs in anticipation of a reversal.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen an even more impressive rise since the election due to Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and his historic support for memecoins.
