The price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has soared in 2024 thanks to several catalysts including Bitcoin ETFs, more companies acquiring the cryptocurrency and expectations for a more pro-crypto White House administration with Donald Trump winning the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex">2024 presidential election.</a>
As Bitcoin dips below the $100,000 level, Benzinga readers predict whether new all-time highs will be hit next or a further dip to $85,000.
What Happened: Bitcoin has reached several new all-time highs since the 2024 presidential election in November, passing the $80,000 and $90,000 levels and recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42331507/happy-bitcoin-100k-day-heres-how-nayib-bukele-brian-armstrong-and-peter-schiff-reacted-to-the-historic-milestone">clearing the $100,000 level.</a>
The leading cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of $103,900.47 on Dec. 4 and spent several days above the $100,000 milestone.
Since then, Bitcoin has fallen and has struggled to pass the milestone again. Benzinga recently asked readers which price milestone they think Bitcoin will hit next.
"Which level is Bitcoin more likely to reach next: $105,000 or $85,000?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>$105,000: 63%</li>
<li>$85,000: 37%</li>
</ul>
The majority of readers polled see Bitcoin reaching all-time highs of $105,000 before the leading cryptocurrency trades back down to $85,000, if it ever goes that low again.
Bitcoin last traded at $85,000 or below one month ago on Nov. 11.

What's Next: Bitcoin is up 123% year-to-date in 2024, which ranks higher than leading stock indexes and many assets. While many would be happy with ending the year up over 100%, the fact that Bitcoin recently passed $100,000 and the move was short-lived could have investors wanting more.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42367065/exclusive-bitcoin-briefly-tops-100000-but-where-do-benzinga-readers-predict-it-will-finish-2024">Benzinga recently asked</a> readers what price they thought Bitcoin would end 2024 at. The results were:
<ul>
<li>Under $90,000: 18%</li>
<li>$90,000 to $100,000: 30%</li>
<li>$100,000 to $120,000: 40%</li>
<li>Over $120,000: 12%</li>
</ul>
The range of $100,000 to $120,000 won the poll with 40% of the vote. Adding in the 12% of respondents who said Bitcoin would trade over $120,000 at year-end and a majority (52%) of voters see a six-figure price to close out the year.
The range of $90,000 to $100,000 got second place in the poll with 30%, suggesting a further pullback could happen in the coming weeks. &nbsp;
Bitcoin topped a poll asking readers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378513/can-bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-shiba-inu-or-solana-beat-xrp-in-2025-poll-says-yes-one-coin-stands-out">choose which cryptocurrency </a>they believe will outperform others in 2025, including Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), Hedera (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hbar/usd">HBAR</a>), and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>).

Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading lower on Wednesday.</a>
In an exchange <a target="_blank" href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001857154/9fdfc9de-a71b-4534-a096-fd43046bd77b.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>, the company said it is facing operational disruptions after an unauthorized cyber incident was detected on its IT systems on November 29.
The company, however, immediately launched an investigation, working closely with top cybersecurity experts to contain and remediate the breach.
Despite the disruption, Krispy Kreme's 400 U.S. locations remain open for in-person orders, and deliveries to retail and restaurant partners, including nearly 2,000 McDonald's locations, have not been affected, CNN <a target="_blank" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/11/business/krispy-kreme-cyber-attack-hack/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
However, some parts of the U.S. are experiencing issues with online ordering, and the company is actively working to restore its digital services, the filing read.

The investigation is ongoing, and the full extent of the breach is still unclear. The company has notified federal law enforcement and is continuing efforts to mitigate the impact on its operations.
Krispy Kreme has acknowledged that the cyber incident is likely to have a material impact on its business, particularly in the short term.
The costs associated with the breach, including lost revenue from disrupted digital sales, fees for cybersecurity experts, and the expense of restoring impacted systems, are expected to significantly affect the company's financials.
However, Krispy Kreme said it holds cybersecurity insurance, which is expected to cover some of these costs.
Despite these challenges, the company has emphasized that it does not anticipate the incident will have a long-term effect on its overall financial health.
Krispy Kreme also noted that its daily fresh deliveries to retail and restaurant partners, including grocery stores, have remained uninterrupted.
This disruption comes on the heels of a busy year for Krispy Kreme, which recently expanded its partnership with McDonald's and sold a majority stake in its Insomnia Cookies brand to private equity firms, CNN adds. These moves reflect the company's continued focus on delivering fresh doughnuts to consumers worldwide.
Price Action: DNUT shares are trading lower by 2.87% to $9.82 at last check Wednesday.

Wall Street kicked off Wednesday on a positive note as November inflation data came in line with expectations, leaving traders confident in the likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42436676/inflation-rises-as-expected-in-november-sustain-hopes-for-next-weeks-fed-interest-rate-cut">rate cut next week.</a>
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7% year-over-year in November, slightly above October's 2.6% annual rate, but perfectly aligned with economist forecasts. Core inflation, which excludes volatile categories like food and energy, remained flat at an annual rate of 3.3%, also meeting expectations.
Following the report, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's Dec. 18 meeting surged to 96%, up from 86% before the data release, as per CME FedWatch. 
This leaves little doubt that investors are almost fully pricing in an easing move by the central bank, pushing back any fears of a potential pause.
