April

Today, Bitcoin has once again shattered expectations by soaring past the $60,000 mark, reaching a high of $63,087 as of press time. This milestone marks the first time in over two years that the cryptocurrency has seen such heights, demonstrating a robust 6.64% increase to $60,629 by the early afternoon. The surge breathes new life into the market, reminiscent of the days before its significant drop in November 2021, when it plummeted over 67% to a low of $19,297 in early April 2022.<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/why-is-bitcoin-price-up-today" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> </a>
The remarkable rally in Bitcoin’s value is not without reason. A substantial factor contributing to this uptrend is the influx of investments into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), coupled with an overall uplift in investor sentiment.
On the trading front, Bitcoin ETFs have made a notable impact, surpassing the trades of major indexes like $SPY and $QQQ. On February 27, these ETFs saw a whopping 241,000 trades, outdoing the $SPY’s 185,000 and the $QQQ’s 138,000.
The spotlight shone brightly on <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/spot-bitcoin-etfs-3-3b-in-trading-volume/" data-type="post" data-id="473514" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlackRock’s</a> iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which recorded over 100,000 individual trades on the same day, marking a significant jump from its usual 30,000 to 60,000 daily trades. This heightened activity highlights the burgeoning appeal of Bitcoin ETFs among investors, signaling a robust demand for cryptocurrency investments.
The market is currently beaming with a mix of euphoria and caution. The Crypto Fear and Greed index, a gauge of investor sentiment, has hit a three-month high of 80, indicating a state of “extreme greed.” This sentiment is largely fueled by the optimism surrounding the Bitcoin halving event and the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, seen as a legitimizing force for Bitcoin in the financial world.
Despite the current market excitement, some voices urge caution. Daniel Yan of Matrixport points to the potential for a market correction by the end of April, citing the unpredictable nature of March due to various macroeconomic factors. Yan’s cautionary stance is a reminder of the volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets and the importance of being prepared for potential downturns.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin has increased by 11% in the past twenty-four hours.
