    December 5 was a big day for the cryptocurrency market; it was on that day that the market achieved the milestone of $100K. Unfortunately, the market could not stay above the range for long; at the time of close on December 5, the market plummeted to $96,902.91.

The market has not yet recovered from the fall. Let’s example what’s holding BTC back, and whether the market can break past $100,000 sustainably. 

    Liquidity Inflows Slow Down 

    Among the two key reasons that are holding Bitcoin back, the primary one is liquidity.

    Nvidia’s Impact on Bitcoin’s Price 

    Secondly, since December 5, the price of NVIDIA Corporation has slipped by over 6.8%. Experts claim that there is a strong correlation between NVIDIA and Bitcoin. 

    Last year, both BTC and NVDA showed impressive performance; the NVDA market grew by approximately 245.53%, while the BTC market surged by over 155.4%. 

    This year, also, NVIDIA has outperformed Bitcoin. The NVIDIA market has raisen over 180% so far, while Bitcoin has grown just a little more than 130%. 

    Although in November 2024, Bitcoin demonstrated an impressive growth of 37.4% – the highest monthly return since February, it was a miserable period for NVIDIA, which could only secure a minor growth of 2.68%.  

    This month, the NVDA market opened at $138.67. Between December 3 and 4, it climbed from $138.22 to a peak of over $145.13. Since then, it has dropped by 6.89%. 

    Future Prospects for the Bitcoin Market 

    There is a high chance that Bitcoin could break above the $100,000 level again in the near future. However, the sustainability of the breakout depends primarily on the aforementioned two factors: liquidity inflows and overall market risk sentiment.
