<p>The cryptocurrency market is on the brink of a historic surge, with a whopping $19.7 billion pouring into the two major players, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This revelation comes from acclaimed crypto analyst Ali, who shared these remarkable capital inflow figures on X (formerly Twitter).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ali drew parallels to a similar scenario in December 2020, a precursor to Bitcoin’s impressive surge from $18,000 to $65,000.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the ripple effect of Ali’s tweet echoed throughout the crypto community, sparking excitement among enthusiasts and investors who are hopeful for a potential rerun of the 2020 bull run. The crypto market, already under intense speculation and scrutiny in recent weeks, has now witnessed a substantial influx of capital, further fueling speculative discussions.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-factors-behind-bitcoin-s-previous-rally">Factors Behind Bitcoin’s Previous Rally</h2>
<p>The surge that propelled Bitcoin to $65,000 and the current influx of capital can be traced back to February 2021 when Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-accept-btc-in-future/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced </a>the purchase of $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin for the company’s balance sheet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Subsequent to this, Tesla announced plans to accept Bitcoin as payment for its electric vehicles. The price of Bitcoin surged above $52,000 on February 18, eventually reaching the staggering $65,000 level on April 15.</p>
<p>However, in April, a negative twist occurred when Elon Musk raised environmental concerns, reversing Tesla’s stance on Bitcoin payments. Despite this, Tesla retained Bitcoin on its balance sheet. As of now, recent data indicates that Tesla has sold all its Bitcoin holdings, except for 9,720 BTC, valued at $417,230,028.</p>

<p>At present, Bitcoin is trading at <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/?_gl=1*wnhg8c*_ga*NTQzNDc3MzQ4LjE2OTcxODMzODc.*_ga_RE1GG3FGQW*MTcwMjUzMDQyNC41NS4xLjE3MDI1NjA2NzQuMC4wLjA.&amp;pk_vid=54976fb381ef2c0e1702560674e1f919" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$42,087</a>, reflecting an impressive 4.16% increase in the last 24 hours and contributing to a remarkable 140.95% surge in value over the past year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, also experiences positive momentum with a current price of <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/ethereum/?_gl=1*ehzw18*_ga*NTQzNDc3MzQ4LjE2OTcxODMzODc.*_ga_RE1GG3FGQW*MTcwMjUzMDQyNC41NS4xLjE3MDI1NjA3MjMuMTUuMC4w&amp;pk_vid=54976fb381ef2c0e1702560724e1f919" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$2,235</a>, showing a significant 5.00% increase in the last 24 hours and an impressive 72.82% increase in value over the past year.</p>
<p>While excitement brews over the recent capital inflow and price surge, caution prevails. The crypto market’s notorious volatility, while capable of delivering substantial gains, also presents significant risks.</p>
