Euro and Australian dollar hit new all-time highs for Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) quickly broke through the last resistance level this week and almost re-entered the rediscovery of the USD price.
However, in Europe, the largest cryptocurrency achieved an early record thanks to changes in the strength of the dollar. After almost eight months of consolidation, BTC/EUR has broken through the ceiling set in March.
“The 350 million citizens of the eurozone just hit a new all-time high for Bitcoin,” longtime analyst Tour Demeester wrote in part of his reaction to X.

The recent history of the eurozone over Bitcoin has been one of hostility, thanks to repeated criticism from the European Central Bank (ECB).
As reported by Cointelegraph, the ECB's latest paper drew scorn and even ridicule from the crypto community, who considered the findings to be illegal.
“This new paper is a real declaration of war. The ECB claims that early adopters of Bitcoin are stealing economic value from latecomers,” De Meester said in a dedicated article on the report earlier this month. I warned you about it in some of the X threads.
“I strongly believe that the authorities will use this foolish argument to enact harsh taxes and bans.”
While BTC price is “far below” gold’s new record, Bitcoin faces another hurdle on the path to universal price discovery.

In addition to aiming for a new all-time high for the dollar, the largest cryptocurrency has yet to make a definitive break against gold.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt uploaded a BTC vs. XAU/USD chart to X, detailing the scale of the challenge ahead of the Bitcoin bull market.
“This is the most important part of the fight against fiat depreciation Bitcoin,” he said.
“USD BTC is still below its March 2024 high and has doubled in 2021. Bitcoin has not made any progress in 42 months.”
