Bitcoin plunged below the $100K mark ahead of Christmas, but after two-plus weeks stuck in the five-figure range, the leading cryptocurrency is once more trading above that milestone price.

The price of Bitcoin jumped above $100,000 on Monday morning after coming close over the weekend, and continued to rise above $102,000, where it remains.

The spike came both amid lingering optimism over the ā€œTrump tradeā€ as the President-electā€™s win was certified Monday, but also a weakening U.S. dollar following a report that Trumpā€™s planned tariffs might not be as severe as originally expected. (Trump denied the report, for what itā€™s worth.)

Bitcoin ETFs have already added more than $500 million worth of the asset in the new year, plus MicroStrategy bought another $101 million in BTC in its ninth straight weekly purchase. Are the bullish vibes back? At least for today, yes.
