Bitcoin crosses $100K again, and the market asks – Is the rally real this time?

In light of recent market activity, Bitcoin (BTC) has started to capture significant attention as it reaches six-figure values once again, following a broader surge in interest among investors. This surge is being attributed to a mix of excitement, coined as "investor greed," and macroeconomic factors such as a trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K. that reduced tariffs on key commodities, which appears to have indirectly fueled a rally in risk assets like Bitcoin. The swift reaction to these events led to a sharp near 6.5% climb in Bitcoin's value as it briefly surpassed the $103,000 threshold.
