Today was almost the day.
Bitcoin's price jumped above the $73,000 mark on Tuesday afternoon, coming just over $175 away from setting a new all-time high price and topping the previous peak of $73,737 set back in March. And then it fell.
Fervent crypto investors were no doubt glued to their screens this afternoon, watching as Bitcoin led the charge that ultimately lifted the broader market. After hitting $70,000 late Monday for the first time in five months, the price of BTC continued to gain on Tuesday, just one week ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
But it wasn't meant to be—at least, not yet. Bitcoin popped as high as $73,562 on Tuesday afternoon, as of this writing, according to data from CoinGecko, with top exchanges and other price aggregators similarly showing a daily peak that was approximately $200 or less than their respective all-time marks.
The Crypto Twitter reaction has been surprisingly subdued, with more prominent tweets wondering about the lack of euphoric glee (or subsequent crushing disappointment) than hyping up the moment.
BTC is like 3% away from all time high.
Where's the euphoria?
Where is everyone?

Perhaps news of a near-miss on a Bitcoin all-time high isn't quite the head-turner it was in the past after the leading cryptocurrency finally breached its last peak in March, breaking a record set back in late 2021.
Or maybe crypto traders don't believe the moment is quite lost yet, despite some distance growing in the last hour-plus; Bitcoin is priced at $72,495 as of this writing, but still remains within striking distance of the persistent price peak.
There's been plenty of bullishness around the crypto space of late, not only due to crypto becoming an unexpected wedge issue in the U.S. election cycle, but also growing demand for Bitcoin ETFs, which started trading in January.
Just over one week until the U.S. presidential election, Bitcoin investors’ bullishness continues. After continuing to break records, the new Bitcoin exchange traded-funds (ETFs) have attracted more cash: Last week, nearly $1 billion entered funds giving investors exposure to the biggest cryptocurrency, data from European asset manager CoinShares showed Monday. The firm points to buzz from the election, as former U.S. President Donald Trump leads against current Vice President Kamala Harris in...
Bitcoin's close call Tuesday might have disappointed some fans and investors, but even a price above $72,000 beats what the leading cryptocurrency has put up for the past several months, as analysts dangle six-figure projections for the months ahead.
It didn't happen today—yet, at least. But stay tuned.
Bitcoin tapped the $100,000 territory for the first time since February, as the U.S. gears up for trade talks with China and prepares to unveil a deal with the UK. Per data from CoinGecko, the leading cryptocurrency briefly crossed $100,000 before dropping back to its current price of around $99,500, up 2.6% on the day and 3.5% on the week. A "major trade deal" teased by U.S. President Donald Trump on social media platform Truth Social, would mark a diplomatic milestone following the economic tu...
Bitcoin briefly surged above $99,000 early Thursday, its highest price since February, as President Trump teased a possible international trade agreement with the UK. The crypto asset is now within striking distance of its all-time high set in March and is now eyeing $100,000. The asset is up 2.6% after retreating from a daily high above $94,000, as per CoinGecko data. “MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY,” Trump posted late Wednesday on Truth Social, an...
Bitcoin will soar to new heights—touching $150,000 this year—before altcoins then rally, BTC billionaire and outspoken crypto mogul Arthur Hayes recently said. And investors will have the monetary authorities in the U.S. to thank for that, the former BitMEX boss said in an interview at last week's Token2049 conference in Dubai. According to the crypto entrepreneur, inflation is likely to continue, too—which investors have argued will be good for assets like Bitcoin. "I think that the setup is p...
