Bitcoin has reached a major milestone, breaking past $80,000 to set a new all-time high. This surge comes amid a rise in trading volume and increased interest from both retail and institutional investors. However, the question remains: will Bitcoin continue its climb, or is a correction on the horizon? The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has hit 78, indicating “Extreme Greed” among market participants. CryptoQuant’s CEO noted that 100% of all Bitcoin addresses are currently profitable, suggesting that some investors might capitalize on this high by taking profits soon.
Bitcoin Hits a New All-Time High
Bitcoin’s price reaching $80,000 represents a pivotal moment, signaling a new chapter in its price journey. Both individual and institutional investors have driven heavy trading volume, propelling Bitcoin’s rise. But as BTC enters a price discovery phase, analysts have mixed views on whether the rally will persist or if a correction could be on the way.
The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index’s recent rise to 78 reflects growing enthusiasm and optimism in the short term, which could push prices even higher. However, this level of greed often precedes corrections, as investors may look to lock in gains at historic highs. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, emphasized that with all Bitcoin addresses currently in profit, some holders may take advantage of this peak for profit-taking.

Analyst Perspectives on BTC’s Trajectory
“Bitcoin has entered a fresh price discovery phase,” Ju explained, noting that previous peaks have often been followed by corrections as larger investors secure profits at high levels. As Bitcoin approaches $80,000, Ju and other experts foresee a potential “wave 4 correction” before any further upward movement.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Exceed $20 Billion
Meanwhile, the value of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings has now surpassed $20 billion following BTC’s recent surge, yielding over $10 billion in unrealized gains. Led by Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, the company has accumulated a total of 252,220 BTC since its initial acquisition in 2020. With an average purchase price of $39,200 per Bitcoin, these investments total around $9.9 billion, marking a significant position in the crypto market.
As the crypto world watches closely, Bitcoin’s historic climb to $80,000 reflects growing mainstream adoption and solidifies its role in modern finance. The Bit Journal will continue to monitor whether this unprecedented rally will sustain or face a correction in the near term.
