What’s next?

With the U.S. election cycle in full swing and ETF inflows re-accelerating, traders are debating whether BTC can tag US$150k before year-end. Options skew remains bullish through March-25, while short-dated implied vol has spiked to 90%—levels last seen during the FTX collapse but now driven by demand rather than panic.

For the equities above, the playbook is simple: as long as Bitcoin stays north of US$100k, miners mint cash and exchanges mint volumes. Any sustained dip below that line, however, and the same leverage that turbo-charged this week’s gains could unwind just as violently.
