July 16th, 2024

Bitcoin regained momentum on Tuesday, trading in bullish territory after sentiments in the larger crypto markets were uplifted.

For the first time in over two weeks, Bitcoin surpassed $63,000, thanks to market movements and growing speculation about US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s possible comeback to the White House.

Trump, who has supported cryptocurrencies, perceived a boost in his prospects of winning the next election after an attempted assassination. As a result of this development, there is a greater chance that Donald Trump will win the US presidential election.

As reported earlier, billionaires like Justin Sun and Elon Musk have officially endorsed him. As a result, the value of cryptocurrencies and coins that would gain from a Trump administration surged.

At press time, BTC was trading at $64,450.87, up nearly 2% from the previous day.

BTC buoyed by Mt.Gox transactions?

On July 16, Mt. Gox transferred more than 140,000 BTC, or almost $9 billion, which alarmed the market after two weeks of lethargy. A known cold wallet received 44,527 BTC from Mt. Gox, while nearly 96,000 BTC went to two unidentified wallets.138,985 BTC, or around $8.7 billion, remain in Mt. Gox’s primary wallet.

Usually, Mt.Gox transactions and Bitcoin dumping have pressured BTC prices. However, it seems that this time around, people have perceived this as a rather bullish signal.

Will BTC see more green trading days?

After a lackluster second quarter, BTC’s price in Q3 has begun with a much-anticipated breakthrough rally to break $70K. The market anticipates a protracted bull market as Bitcoin breaks above $60,000. Growing expectations for US market interest rate reductions will support Bitcoin’s upward price trend.

As a result, 2024 is expected to be a very positive year for Bitcoin, reaching a possible high of $100,000 by September.

After the fourth Bitcoin halving, many observers think that Bitcoin’s price trend steadily gained bullish momentum. Based on past trends, Bitcoin appears to have a lot of room to expand, possibly reaching $100,000 or more in this cycle. With the negative trend finally abating, enthusiasm has been generated by Bitcoin’s most recent bullish breakout.
