Polymarket now estimates a 72% probability that Bitcoin will reach $100k this month. Additionally, bettors on the platform see a 34% chance of BTC hitting $105,000 in November.

Why the $100K Prediction Holds Weight

The prediction of Bitcoin hitting $100K is not just speculation; it’s supported by several strong factors driving its growth.

1. New All-Time Highs

Bitcoin’s recent surge to $97,858 levels has created strong momentum. Meanwhile, this surge has set an optimistic tone.

2. Growing Institutional Interest 

Big names like BlackRock and Fidelity are heavily backing Bitcoin through ETFs and related products. This growing support from institutions has boosted Bitcoin’s credibility and demand.

3. Scarcity and Rising Demand

With its fixed supply, Bitcoin has become the go-to “digital gold” for investors looking to protect their wealth against inflation and economic uncertainty.

These factors create a perfect storm for Bitcoin, with market conditions aligning to push its value toward the much-anticipated $100K milestone.
