BTC’s price has been increasing steadily since September 2023. The upward movement stalled in December, but it began gaining momentum again this month. The drivers of the rapid growth of the Bitcoin price were the upcoming&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-halving/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">halving</a>&nbsp;in the spring of 2024, as well as a significant influx of capital into spot Bitcoin&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/etf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETFs</a>. 
Glassnode analysts&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://crypto.news/short-term-holders-are-flooding-crypto-exchanges-glassnode-says/" rel="noreferrer noopener">point out</a>&nbsp;that a speculative frenzy against the backdrop of the bullish trend in BTC grips the Bitcoin market. Fresh capital flows, general exchange activity, leverage in crypto derivatives, and institutional demand indicate this. 
QCP Capital analysts also <a href="https://crypto.news/qcp-capital-explains-when-to-expect-bitcoins-all-time-high/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">indicated</a>&nbsp;that BTC reaching $60,000 is a natural target for the March expiry.
