Crypto regulation shifts as Bitcoin eyes $105K amid liquidity boost

Bitcoin price faces pressure, but macroeconomic trends and regulatory shifts could drive future growth with BTC poised to reach six-figures once again.

Bitcoin (BTC) price has risen 8% from its March 11 low of $76,703, driven in part by large investors aggressively buying the dip with leverage.

Margin longs on Bitfinex surged to their highest level since November 2024, adding 13,787 BTC over 17 days. Currently standing at $5.7 billion, this bullish leveraged positioning signals confidence in Bitcoin’s upside potential despite recent price weakness.
