Bitcoin (BTC) broke multiple new price levels throughout the day on Nov. 11, reaching a new all-time high of $87,450 as it continues its blistering post-election rally into price discovery.

Ethereum (ETH) also performed well amid market optimism, climbing 6.5% over the past 24 hours to $3,328.29, the highest level since Aug. 3.
