Bitcoin is rapidly approaching the $100,000 milestone as optimism floods the crypto market, driven by bullish signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve and a cryptic trade deal teaser from former President Donald Trump. The surge in market activity has sparked a broader rally across altcoins, many of which have posted double-digit gains in the past 24 hours.

In a post ahead of a scheduled press conference, Trump hinted at a “big” trade agreement with a “highly respected country,” fueling speculation and excitement among investors. Bitcoin has remained resilient amid recent market volatility, a trend that analysts interpret as growing confidence in its role as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

Altcoins have followed Bitcoin’s lead, with many outperforming expectations. Ethereum (ETH) is up 5%, trading at $1,943 following the recent Pectra upgrade. Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) saw gains of 4% and 5%, respectively, while Cardano (ADA) climbed 4.8%. XRP also posted a modest 3% increase.

Among the standout performers, SUI jumped 9%, Hedera (HBAR) rose 5%, and Pi Network added more than 7%. Meme coin PEPE surged 13%, while ONDO and AAVE recorded 6% and 7% increases. Chainlink and Avalanche both gained approximately 6%.

Notably, EOS led the day’s altcoin charge with a 17% surge to $0.84. Bitcoin Cash followed closely, rising 13% to $416.82, and Immutable gained nearly 11%, trading at $0.58. The broader altcoin market, represented by the CMC Altcoin Index, currently sits at 30, with room for further expansion as investor appetite grows.

Despite altcoins gaining ground, Bitcoin maintains a dominant 64% share of the market. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remains neutral at 53, suggesting a cautiously optimistic sentiment among traders.

Analysts like Crypto Rover and Michaël van de Poppe believe this could mark the start of a strong altcoin season. Van de Poppe predicts the altcoin market could rally to a total valuation of $925 billion if momentum continues. As Bitcoin edges closer to six figures, the crypto market is showing renewed signs of life, with both institutional and retail investors jumping back in.
