Bitcoin broke the $63,000 mark this morning to set a new all-time high, data from markets tool CoinGecko shows.

The network is now worth over $1.2 trillion, with 18.8 million BTC now in circulation. It traded at $63,000 yesterday but convincingly broke through the $68,000 mark on a futures ETF listing last month and added support for the asset from political circles in the US.

As the below image shows, Bitcoin trades above its 34-period moving average, a tool used by traders to determine an assetโ€™s trend, and remains in a strong โ€œuptrend.โ€ Thereโ€™s currently no visual or technical โ€œresistanceโ€ level where sellers could step in to take profitsโ€”meaning the runway for Bitcoin to run even further is clear.

Some analysts continue to hold a $100,000 price target for Bitcoin. PlanB, a pseudonymous trader known for his โ€˜S2Fโ€™ model, reiterated their model in a tweet yesterday, claiming a price target as high as $288,000.

โ€œAs you know S2F model predicts $100K average for this halving period (and based on floor model we reach $100K this yr). But S2FX model predicts $288K average this cycle (we need some real fireworks in 2022 for that),โ€ they tweeted.

Bitcoin has since retreated to $67,900 as of press time.
