Bitcoin has surged to $103,000, nearing its all-time high of $103,679 set earlier this month. The cryptocurrency has been trading above $102,000 over the weekend, reflecting expectations of a 'Santa Rally' and the incoming pro-cryptocurrency policy of President-elect Donald Trump. This rise comes after a period of volatility, with Bitcoin briefly surpassing $100,000 for the first time on December 4. Despite fluctuations, Bitcoin has maintained its upward trajectory, with market observers noting the potential for setting a new record high in the near future. Today, Bitcoin hit $103,490, now only 1.4% away from its all-time high. Other cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and XRP have also seen modest gains.
