What to know:
- Bitcoin reached a new record high above $116,000 on Thursday, CoinDesk data shows.

Bitcoin clinched a fresh record high above $116,000 on Thursday, attempting to break away from the range it has been trading in for months.
The largest and oldest cryptocurrency hit $115,469 during the U.S. session, CoinDesk price data shows. It was up 4.3% over the past 24 hours.

The new record comes less than a day after it briefly topped $112,000 on some exchanges, then retreated below $111,000 in the later hours. A year ago, Bitcoin traded at $57,704, meaning it doubled in price over the past 12 months, despite some volatility through that time — it retraced some of its growth this past spring.
Bitcoin's rally to new highs was buoyed by strong inflows into ETFs, relentless corporate adoption by crypto treasury companies and an increasingly favorable regulatory climate, Gerry O'Shea, head of global market insights at Hashdex, said in a note.
"While the macro environment will continue to remain uncertain, we believe the bull market is far from over and new catalysts, including more institutional platforms allowing access to bitcoin, may help drive the price of BTC to $140,000 or higher this year," he said.
The broader crypto market was also climbing higher on Thursday. Ethereum's ether topped $2,800 and was up more than 5%, while XRP gained 3.5%. The broad-market CoinDesk 20 Index advanced 3.4% to its strongest level since May.

Forget $80k: Michael Terpin warns bitcoin could revisit the $40,000s before a real recovery
Terpin argued that bitcoin’s post-halving bubble followed its typical arc and says history suggests the market may still face another wave of pain.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- Michael Terpin says the bull market peak came in the fourth quarter after the halving, in line with prior cycles.
- While dismissing $80,000 and $60,000 bottom calls as premature, he sees the potential for bitcoin to revisit the $50,000s or even $40,000s in a fragile market.
