Bitcoin price
Copy link to sectionThe price of Bitcoin raced to an all-time high above $109,000 on Monday, January 20, with this coming ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration as 47th US president.
However, the benchmark asset fell to support around $100,100 early Tuesday as overnight sell-off pressure derailed bulls.
Much of this was down to the expectation and tinge of disappointment that Trump’s first speech as president did not mention crypto or Bitcoin.
Despite this, analysts are ultra-bullish on the price of BTC.
Several industry figures say the anticipated executive orders on crypto, including one on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, will eventually come.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s share price hovered around $395.68 in premarket trading.
MSTR has gained 28% in the past five days and over 743% in the past year.
