TTHE PRICE OF BITCOIN BE ABOVE $68,000 ON MARCH 23: BREATHLESS FINALE. It was a photo finish at the noon bell. Bitcoin squeezed past $68,000 just as the 12:00 PM ET candle closed on Binance. The bulls barely held the line. The odds flickered like a dying lightbulb all morning, dancing between 52% and 54%.

The volume hit $100K as the final seconds ticked down. The race was a total dogfight: the price of Bitcoin stayed at 54%, then 54%, then 53%, then 52%, and finally 52% in a heart-stopping descent toward the finish. It was a bloodbath for the bears who thought the resistance would hold. The "Yes" crowd is popping cheap prosecco while the "No" camp stares at their liquidated positions in disbelief. The Binance chart doesn't lie. $68,001 or $68,100, it didn't matter—the barrier broke. History was made by a few dollars and a lot of sweat. The doubters got crushed by the clock. Game over. The bulls won the day, even if they're exhausted. Somewhere, a trader who held through the 12:00:59 mark is very, very rich.
