History will be rewritten if Bitcoin reaches $70,000 before halving.
Bitcoin is rocking. Its price smashed through $65,000 earlier today as bears refused to dominate. The flagship crypto is only almost 6% away from its historical high of $69,000 in November 2021. If Bitcoin successfully reaches $70,000, its history will be rewritten.
Data from Alternative.me shows that the crypto fear and greed index hit 83/100 yesterday. This is the highest level since Bitcoin’s peak of $69,000, suggesting that investors are “extremely” confident in the potential of Bitcoin’s price.
Last week, BTC surpassed $60,000 before extending its rally to $64,000. The rally was fueled by institutional accumulation, especially by US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and big corporations like MicroStrategy. Moreover, there were speculations that Jeff Bezos sold $8.5 billion in Amazon stock to buy Bitcoin.
According to BitMEX Research’s update last Saturday, the total cumulative trading volume of US spot Bitcoin ETFs has recorded more than $7.3 billion in net inflows since their first trading day.
