Bitcoin holders are expecting the price of Bitcoin to soon reach $100,000 after months of volatility. This is attributed to President Donald Trump’s announcement of a trade deal with the UK. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is trading at $99,481.79 as of this writing, showing an increase of 2.59% in the last 24 hours. It’s now poised to break the $100k threshold for the first time since its pullback in late March and April, following its all-time high in January 2025. This fresh surge has also prompted upward movement across other major tokens. In a Truth Social post, President Trump stated that a “major deal” with a “big, and highly-respected country” is set to be revealed on May 8. According to the New York Times, that country is the UK. The news has fueled optimism across crypto markets, with investors interpreting the development as a sign of improving international trade conditions. Prior to the announcement, Bitcoin was trading around $97,759. Almost immediately after the post, the price jumped to $99,000, suggesting traders are already positioning for a breakout above six figures. This moment is being closely watched by financial brokers and investors alike. A clean break past $100,000 could signal a strong continuation of the bullish trend, especially if trade sentiment remains positive. For brokers managing clients with crypto exposure, this is a time to reassess risk levels and be ready for increased client inquiries as headlines dominate the space. While Bitcoin’s momentum is clearly being driven by macro news, traders should still remain cautious. Political announcements can cause short-term volatility, and a confirmed trade deal will need to materialize to sustain upward pressure. Still, optimism is high—and if current momentum continues, brokers may soon be operating in a market where Bitcoin’s price begins with six figures.
