Bitcoin Approaching Historic High – Price Surpasses $70,000
Bitcoin is currently approaching its historical peak, surpassing the $70,000 threshold again after a week-long decline. According to CoinGecko, the value of Bitcoin is currently $70,561, marking an impressive increase of 9% over the last 24 hours and 5.5% over the past seven days.
Bitcoin Striving to Return to the Top
Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin has been above $70,000 only once – on March 14, before it began losing value. The dips were a result of market turbulence such as ETF withdrawals, crashes on cryptocurrency exchanges, or inflation concerns. However, after the SEC approved the first Bitcoin spot ETFs in January, the cryptocurrency gained value, steadily approaching its historical peak.
The Halving Effect on Bitcoin Price
One of the factors influencing the price of Bitcoin is the so-called halving – an event that occurs roughly every four years. It involves halving the amount of Bitcoins awarded to cryptocurrency miners for completing tasks. Speculators are hopeful that after the halving, the value of Bitcoin could double or even triple.
Experts Advise Caution
Despite the current positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin, experts advise caution, considering the market’s behavior after previous halving events. Nevertheless, investors and cryptocurrency market observers eagerly follow Bitcoin’s next moves and its impact on the overall market.
Rise of Other Cryptocurrencies
It’s worth noting that the rise of Bitcoin is accompanied by the dynamics of other cryptocurrencies. For instance, Ethereum gained close to 9%, reaching a price of $3,630, while Solana increased by almost 13%, surpassing $194. The entire cryptocurrency market shows an upward trend, further confirming the current investor euphoria.
