The price is definitely higher, but we have to stop trying to look for reasons for the same. Bitcoin sometimes has a mind of its own.
As we saw the last time, the price just shrugged off the ETF rejection.
It wasn't a total shrug. Bitcoin hit a high of about $1350 briefly that day March 12th, then a low of about $975 ($375 drop), but recovered to around $1190 - but still off $150 from that crazy high. But that was about it was the day before anyway...
