Bitcoin gained 35 percent in a month. "The biggest bull rally in history can be before us"
Bitcoin and altcoins have come alive. Cryptovalies are helped by the external environment.
Cryptocurrencies have come alive again. Bitcoin gained 35% within a month, bitcoin cash - 17%, ethereum - 6%, and litcoin - 11%. The market capitalization of the entire market increased to $ 300 billion. Apologists for virtual money are full of optimism. There is no shortage of voices that the world's largest cryptocurrency may still grow, beating the tops of December last year.
- This may be a turning point for the largest rally of bitcoin bulls in history - this entry from Mati Greenspan, cryptocut eToro analyst from Monday caused a big stir among the crypto investors. Of course, bitcoin has recently gained again - during the month by 35 percent, and only for the last 7 days by 11 percent. - but can the fuel be enough for another boost? Supporters of virtual currencies say clearly - yes.
At the time of writing, bitcoin now costs over 8,000. dol, i.e. the highest since May peak.
Where does this ferment come from? Let's look at some of the last time information that could give new hopes to the market:
- The increase in the popularity of bitcoin may be related to the change in the policy of the Bank of Japan. Where do you get these assumptions? Let's look. The Reuters agency writes that inside the Bank of Japan (BoJ) there is an extremely active discussion ahead of the meeting at the end of July.
- A potential change in the policy of stabilizing the profitability of long-term government bonds in the vicinity of zero or a change in the asset purchase program would be at stake. Sources say that BoJ would like to maintain an accommodative monetary policy, but to a lesser extent adversely affecting the result of the banking sector - writes Rafał Sadoch from DM mBank.
Some investors in Japan are therefore afraid of changing monetary policy and wanting to hedge against turbulence, invest in bitcoin. Data confirm this. Currently 55 percent Bitcoin transactions are performed using the Japanese yen.
Interestingly, in December last year, when bitcoin price was approaching historical peaks, it was the Japanese who were the lion's share of the rally.
