The cryptocurrency market is on a roll, thanks to <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/">Bitcoin</a> breaking past $63,000 and a whopping $370 million pouring into <a href="https://coinpedia.org/crypto-live-news/grayscales-bitcoin-etf-breaks-withdrawal-trend-with-63m-inflow/">Spot Bitcoin ETFs</a>. This surge has lifted other major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano, pushing the global crypto market cap up by 5.11% to a towering $2.34 trillion in just 24 hours, despite a minor 18% drop in trading volumes. 
The blockbuster question: why? 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-caused-the-crypto-comeback">What Caused the Crypto Comeback?</h2> 
US Economic Boost 
Despite some economic ups and downs, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">recent US data</a> has given investors a confidence boost, especially in jobs and manufacturing. Even though manufacturing saw a slight dip, with the PMI falling to 49.2%, March job vacancies held strong at 8.5 million. Employment rose by 175,000, a tad below predictions, while the unemployment rate nudged up to 3.9%. Hourly wages grew by 0.2%, slightly shy of the expected 0.3%. 
Despite these twists and turns, investors are still upbeat about jobs and manufacturing, showing faith in the crypto market amidst economic uncertainty. 
Swings in Bitcoin ETFs 
Investor mood has swung with the flow of Bitcoin ETFs, experiencing both dips and surges, significantly boosting confidence in the crypto sector. Notably, there was a hefty $563.7 million outflow from U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs on May 1. However, recent data shows a remarkable turnaround, with inflows dropping to $34.4 million on May 2, only to bounce back to $378.3 million on May 3, renewing investor confidence.

Hong Kong Embraces Crypto ETFs 
<a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/krakens-cf-benchmark-projects-1b-aum-in-hong-kong-etfs-by-2024-as-per-bloombergs-report/">Hong Kong’s embrace</a> of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has been a game-changer for crypto prices. Huaxia, Harvest International, and Boshi Bitcoin ETFs together amassed a hefty $258 million within a week. Hong Kong’s acquisition of 4,218 BTC over three days highlights a growing interest in digital assets. Though still behind the US in ETF trading volume during its first week, this has injected fresh life into the previously sluggish crypto market. 
Pension Plans Eye Crypto 
A notable trend is pension plans eyeing crypto investments, signaling a shift in institutional investment strategy and boosting positive sentiment in the crypto market. Fidelity Digital Assets revealed a growing interest among pension funds in crypto assets. Manuel Nordeste from Fidelity noted increased interest from family offices and high-net-worth individuals. 
However, while 80% of individuals favor crypto investments, only 23% of pension plans have jumped on board, revealing a gap in adoption rates.

“Buying the Dip” Trend Gains Favour 
The idea of “buying the dip” has encouraged investors to seize recent price drops as prime buying opportunities, especially with the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitfinex-predicts-bitcoins-two-month-consolidation-highlights-ethers-market-dominance/">Bitcoin halving event</a> on the horizon. Historical data shows cryptocurrencies tend to surge after halving events, fueling investor optimism. 
The recent crypto surge mirrors past patterns seen after Bitcoin halvings. Historical trends give hope for post-halving gains, coupled with the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US and Hong Kong. 
What are your thoughts on the recent surge? Are you bullish or bearish?
