$BTC at $100K and $ETH at $4K before year-end — still possible?
The crypto market just had a pretty eventful week.
The CLARITY Act failed to advance in the U.S. Senate, the Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis points, and regulators still delivered some more constructive signals for the crypto industry.
That creates an interesting situation.
Normally, higher rates and regulatory uncertainty would be a tough combination for risk assets. Yet Bitcoin has shown surprising resilience, holding around the mid-$70K to low-$80K area despite the recent pressure.
For $BTC, the key question now isn't simply whether $100K is possible.
It's whether liquidity, institutional demand and market sentiment can overcome higher borrowing costs and a stronger macro headwind.
For $ETH, reaching $4K would require a meaningful recovery from current levels and stronger momentum across the Ethereum ecosystem.
There are also regulatory developments worth watching. The SEC has proposed a tailored framework for certain crypto-asset offerings, although the proposal is still subject to public comment.
So the next few months could come down to one thing:
Does crypto demand keep absorbing macro pressure, or does the Fed's tighter stance finally catch up with the market?
The answer may become clearer as we move toward Q4.
