This should be as a result of the bitcoin spot ETF that was approved some months ago. After it’s approval, expectation was that we’ll see bitcoin on a bullish trend as a result of that, but due to the many hype surrounding it and a lot of fake news on its approval, the effect that was expected was not not felt after it was first approved. I think that is the effect that is taking place that made bitcoin to surge high and excess the ATH even before the halving took place.
We have already witnessed some of it but maybe after the halving and the main bull run begins, it will still play an important run in the bullish cycle of the market.
The bull season doesn’t take much time, I don’t even think it takes up to a year to see the All Time High it will attain before seeing the bearish market again. The bull market won’t take much time, so taking advantage of it early is better.
