Bitcoin, the king of crypto, has had an amazing year, but a trading veteran, Peter Brandt, is pointing out something weird.

Law firms take on Pump.fun over 200+ memecoins

Bitcoin and Ethereum: Price Ranges, Key Influences, and Market Dynamics
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading within a range of $87,000 to $105,000, influenced by several key factors.
Institutional adoption remains a significant driver, with continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and increasing interest from institutional investors.
Additionally, the regulatory environment is shaping market dynamics, as post-election optimism under the Trump administration could lead to a more crypto-friendly regulatory framework.
Market sentiment, reflected by the “Fear” level on the Fear & Greed Index, may create buying opportunities or trigger further sell-offs, depending on how participants interpret the sentiment.
Moreover, global economic conditions, particularly interest rates and inflation trends, continue to play a critical role in Bitcoin’s price movements.
Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading within a range of $2,450 to $2,900, with its price influenced by several key developments.
The anticipated PECTRA upgrade in 2025, aimed at enhancing scalability and performance, could positively impact Ethereum’s value.
Demand for ETH is also driven by its utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and the non-fungible token (NFT) market.
Furthermore, the potential approval of spot Ethereum ETFs is expected to attract more institutional investment, though the impact may not be as immediate as seen with Bitcoin.
Additionally, the ETH/BTC ratio is being closely monitored, as gains in ETH could signal a shift in market dominance or investor preference between the two leading cryptocurrencies.
