Bitcoin has increased by more than eighty percent since the beginning of the year, surpassing $30,000 for the first time since June 2022.
Bitcoin had higher prices before the pandemic and it had been a down hill right after that.
The bounce back is considerably more extraordinary than an almost 20% increase on the Nasdaq 100 — with which Bitcoin would in general move together. Bitcoin has fallen by more than 50% since reaching its all-time high in November 2021.
This comes under some reports that US government considers that crypto coins could be dangerous for the economy and could destabilize some countries. It is yet to be seen that US government would accept bitcoin formally. It is to be noted that India has already put legal checks and balances in place for crypto, making it not acceptable within its land.
In US, SEC has made certain considerable points which ensure that the institution could take further action on certain crypto exchanges.
However, despite the setbacks, the collapse of three US banks has rekindled the belief among Bitcoin supporters that the token provides a more appealing alternative to conventional finance. As a result, Bitcoin's rally has strengthened over the past month.
Market makers' loss of access to Silvergate Capital Corp. and Signature Bank's US banking rails, which brought liquidity to a 10-month low, analysts contend, could also partially account for the rebound. Price swings can appear more dramatic when there is less trading activity.
Head of data and analytics at FRNT Financial, Strahinja Savic, stated, "Order books are thin and trading activity is depressed." Price action that is difficult to attribute to any one factor may occur under these conditions.
