There are a number of factors that could have contributed to this sudden jump. Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies more generally, have seen a positive increase this past week.
To me I think what would have caused the price spike is the so-called crypto “whales” choosing this moment to place large buy orders For Bitcoin. Since the supply of Bitcoin is finite (21,000,000 total theoretical supply of Bitcoin, with only 17,137,187 currently circulating), it stands to reason that large buy or share orders can impact the price significantly.
Kindly share your view on the sudden increase.
So you are basically pointing towards the demand supply chain behind the reasons for the bitcoin's price increase. That may be true! Probably the demand has increased and the price has also increased because of that reason. However, I must add that, bitcoin is still at a very nascent stage and such tiny price increase is nothing for bitcoin. I count such fluctuation as a part of the basic dynamics of bitcoin's price and nothing else. The demand is robust all around the world and we haven't received any significant bad news in last few weeks, which may have fueled the price. Bitcoin's price is not solely dependent on the demand it receives. There are several other factors which are hard to factor in.
