Do you believe it was primarily driven by positive news, investor speculation, increased mainstream awareness, or a combination of these factors? How do you think this pump will impact the overall cryptocurrency market? Looking forward to hearing your insights and opinions!"
It was primarily driven by emotions by the investors.
Positive news = positive effect towards the market because investors often see positive news as opportunities for them to buy Bitcoin thus, price increase a few hours after the news is posted online. TBH, I'm not a fan of investing thru news because I'm more of a chart guy where I just look at charts, and make a buy price base on what the chart is telling.
The pump is caused by Blackrock, and over the course of 1-2 weeks, they have been the ones that you are seeing on different media. Them signing that spot Bitcoin ETF is a positive news for the investors that's why it pumped. How will it impact the whole market? I guess we've seen the impact already. The effect has been there, and it seems like there are no reasons for Bitcoin to go below $30,000 as of this moment.
I expect that Bitcoin's price will go up even further once the spot Bitcoin ETF will be approved. That is if it will be approved. I guess the chances are higher because Gary Gensler resigned already. It will all depend on who will be the one that will replace him.
