Is BlackRock Pushing Bitcoin’s Price?
BlackRock’s latest BTC purchase aligns with the asset’s latest rally. BTC is up by 7% in the weekly charts, 7.5% in the 14-day charts, 8.7% over the previous month, and 130.6% since October 2023. The original cryptocurrency is now only 6.9% away from its all-time high of $73,737.94, which it attained in March of this year.

Another reason for BTC’s rally could be the upcoming US Presidential elections. Many experts predict a Donald Trump victory, which could lead to a market-wide rally. Market participants may be anticipating a rally in the days preceding the election, which will take place on Nov. 5, 2024.
October is usually a bullish month for the crypto market, and the trend seems to be maintained in 2024.
