Bitcoin just broke 80k and is heading to 100k? Market: Are you here to invest or to dream?

Bitcoin surpassed $80k, and many have already started fantasizing about $100k, $120k, or even "retirement freedom." But the market has a bad habit—catering to optimism.
First, the conclusion: a short-term surge directly to $100k is unrealistic, but the medium-term trend remains bullish.
Why do I say that? Because this wave of rally is too "normal"—no explosive volume, no nationwide FOMO, and even a bit restrained. This kind of market is usually not the top, but the process.
But the problem is, $80k is a typical psychological barrier.
What will happen here?
Simply: some take profits, some chase the high, some short.
The result is—volatility.
A more likely scenario is:
Sideways digestion → Pullback for confirmation → Re-attack.
And what about Ethereum?
Right now, ETH is like the "class monitor," following closely but not stealing the spotlight.
But don’t underestimate it. History shows us:
When BTC reaches a certain stage, funds will look for higher elasticity, and ETH is the first choice.
In one sentence:
BTC determines the direction, ETH determines whether it’s enjoyable or not.
