ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Real Vision's chief cryptocurrency analyst Jamie Coutts stated that despite recent fluctuations in the U.S. macroeconomic situation, Bitcoin could potentially break its historical high of $109,000 earlier than expected.He also mentioned that the market may be underestimating the speed of Bitcoin's rise, which could set a new all-time high before the end of the second quarter.

He noted that financial conditions have significantly eased this month, particularly as the U.S. dollar recorded its third-largest three-day decline since 2015, while interest rates and Treasury volatility have significantly decreased, with liquidity remaining central to investments across all asset classes.
