Bitcoin prices have surged past $71,000 for the first time since June, driven by a combination of geopolitical easing, positive investor sentiment ahead of the upcoming elections, and strong inflows into cryptocurrency ETFs. The recent rally saw $175 million in shorts liquidated as Bitcoin approaches new all-time highs. Analysts suggest that momentum could push Bitcoin to potential targets of $94K, $160K, and even $230K if the bullish trends continue. With altcoins like Dogecoin and Polkadot also experiencing gains, the crypto market is showing renewed strength as investors speculate on both market dynamics and political developments affecting the financial landscape.
