Matt Mena, crypto research strategist at 21Shares, broke down the forces behind bitcoin’s recent breakout past $94,000, pointing to a web of shifting geopolitical signals and macroeconomic dynamics that are reconfiguring investor strategies. He attributed the price surge to “a confluence of macro and structural catalysts,” including a softer diplomatic stance from President Donald Trump toward China and renewed clarity over U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s tenure. These developments, combined with a weakening dollar, are creating a more favorable environment for risk assets. Yet, bitcoin is distinguishing itself from the pack as more than a speculative instrument.

He explained:

This rally isn’t retail-driven hype—it’s institutional capital positioning ahead of what many see as a new monetary and political regime.

That shift is evident not just in sentiment, but in how bitcoin is behaving relative to traditional markets. “Bitcoin’s 7-day correlation to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq has gone negative,” he noted, underscoring that the asset is no longer being treated as a tech proxy. Instead, it’s gaining traction as “a hybrid macro asset—part digital gold, part growth equity—roughly 80% gold and 20% tech.” Capital flows have followed suit, with bitcoin and ethereum ETFs bringing in over $1.3 billion in just two days.

Meanwhile, more than $500 million in crypto short positions were liquidated as traders scrambled to adjust, Mena detailed, cautioning: “Short term, the next resistance sits around $95K, which could act as a brief pause point given the pace of this rally. Beyond that, the key psychological level remains $100K.”

The broader landscape continues to build the case for bitcoin’s momentum, he noted, emphasizing that the total crypto market cap has once again crossed the $3 trillion mark, matching highs not seen since the 2020–2021 cycle. Economic indicators such as the approaching 4% yield on 10-year Treasury notes and expectations for three to four interest rate cuts by year’s end are reinforcing bullish sentiment. Mena predicted the potential for further upside:

Bitcoin could potentially double by the end of the year, following global liquidity dynamics as it has in past cycles and reaching a high of $200K.

Investors are increasingly looking beyond volatility, Mena concluded: “More investors are turning to it not just as a speculative asset, but as a flight to safety amid rising uncertainty across traditional markets.”
