Bitcoin Hits $119K as Stellar XLM Surges 30% at $0.444 Breakout
Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new intraday high of $119,308 as analysts predict a year-end rally toward $150,000–$250,000 amid tightening supply–demand. Bitcoin dominance dipped by 2.5%, fueling an altcoin rally led by Stellar XLM, which rebounded 30% in 24 hours after a five-week retracement and formed a double-bottom pattern near the $0.444 resistance. A sustained break above $0.444 could target $0.51 and $0.647, while support zones lie at $0.334, $0.285, $0.25 and longer-term at $0.217. Hedera HBAR jumped 27%, and traders eye further breakouts as capital rotates into altcoins, potentially broadening market momentum.
Bullish
The new intraday high for Bitcoin, combined with a notable dip in BTC dominance and sharp rallies in Stellar XLM and Hedera HBAR, indicates strong bullish sentiment. The technical breakouts—particularly XLM’s double-bottom pattern at $0.444—and analysts’ forecasts for higher price targets suggest sustained upward momentum in both the short and long term. Continued capital rotation into altcoins could further accelerate market expansion.
