Bitcoin Joins Top 10 Global Currencies Amid Bullish Surge
- Bitcoin ranks 10th among global currencies, surpassing the Brazilian Real in market cap.
- A Wyckoff Accumulation phase has ended, signaling a strong bullish market breakout.
- Bitcoin nears its 21M supply cap as price surges past $118K with rising trading volume.
Bitcoin has officially joined the top 10 global currencies ranked by market capitalization. It has surpassed the Brazilian Real (BRL) and is now nearing the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) in global standings. Current financial data places Bitcoin’s market capitalization at $2.35 trillion. This is based on a circulating supply of 19.89 million BTC. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin’s supply remains immutable, reinforcing its scarcity-based valuation.
It now ranks alongside major national currencies like the U.S. Dollar (USD), the Euro (EUR), and the Japanese Yen (JPY) in total valuation. Unlike these fiat currencies, Bitcoin stands out as the only digital asset in the top 10 with a fixed maximum supply, reinforcing its identity as a deflationary asset. This scarcity-driven design contrasts sharply with traditional currencies, which are subject to inflationary pressures through monetary expansion.
Wyckoff Accumulation Phase Ends, Distribution Begins
Bitcoin’s Wyckoff Accumulation phase, lasting from February to July 2025, has officially concluded. The pattern was completed following a “Spring” event on April 6, signaling a trend reversal. The price subsequently broke above the Automatic Reaction level of $106,400. This breakout confirmed the end of accumulation and marked the beginning of a Distribution phase. A Golden Cross also supported the upward shift, strengthening the bullish outlook.

Chart analysis shows Bitcoin has established a bullish flag formation. Price action indicates a potential continuation toward the next resistance near $125,000. The transition from accumulation to distribution suggests increasing participation from larger market players. Analysts anticipate that Bitcoin may enter a reaccumulation phase after testing upper resistance levels. Current trading activity suggests confidence among market participants remains high.
Price Momentum and Market Activity
Bitcoin is currently trading at $118,199.93, reflecting a 6.27% gain as of the time of press. Daily trading volume has increased significantly, rising by 82.86% to reach $109.5 billion. Such a rise in volume is a sign of increased investor interest and possible institutional action. The price momentum overnight has spiked through the mark of 116,000 dollars, hinting at extended purchase momentum. The bullish trend in the market can be sustained in the short run.

The fully diluted value (FDV) of Bitcoin is at $2.47 trillion. There is only 1.11 million BTC that remains to be mined, which is why scarcity is still one of the determining factors. The tight supply conditions contribute to price appreciation during periods of high demand. Market sentiment remains focused on the next consolidation zone near $125,000. Technical signs show that it can rally higher should it continue to record liquidity inflows.

Global Market Context and Future Outlook
In the short term, the estimated price of Bitcoin is likely to hit a record of up to 125,000 dollars, going by the bullish supply. The analyst projects a longer-term target of $160,000, depending on factors like global liquidity conditions, macroeconomic trends, and continued institutional investment. This classic chart pattern is an indication that a reaccumulation or distribution period might occur after the current rallying period. The market participants should also look at the important technical levels as a direction indicator.
Bitcoin’s performance is aligning with strong momentum in traditional stock markets. The S&P 500 recently closed at a record high of 6,280.47, up 0.27%. Its long-term growth of over 139,466% reflects enduring investor confidence in equities over time.

Bank of America Hartnett: Interest rate hikes become the biggest bullish factor, the logic of ending the bond bubble is spreading
Bank of America strategist Hartnett has made a counterintuitive assessment: the most favorable event for the stock market before the end of the year would be for the Federal Reserve to proactively raise interest rates in October—using a tightening move to curb the out-of-control long end. If the Fed proves its willingness to control inflation and term premium through an October rate hike, the market may actually stop worrying about the 10-year yield surging toward 6%, thereby easing pressure on stocks. Currently, while US stocks have not yet been brought down by interest rates, cracks are quietly spreading in South Korean brokers, French government bonds, and CCC-rated credit bonds.
