On December 5 2024, Bitcoin traded above $100,000 for the first time, a round-number milestone that capped a strong post-election rally and drew heavy mainstream media attention to the asset class. Momentum had been building toward the level for weeks, with each approach rejected a little less firmly than the last.
This is a medium-difficulty session because round-number milestones tend to attract both breakout buyers and profit-takers at the same level, producing choppy price action right around the number even as the broader trend stayed intact. It's a good study in trend continuation versus round-number resistance.
Same engine, same hidden right-hand side — a different day's problem.
