Will Bitcoin Continue This Hot Streak?
At press time, following a slight setback of 0.65% the king coin was trading at $74,485.00. It should be noted that BTC soared by 9.02% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin went from trading at a low of $68,287 to a high of $75,011.
Bitcoin witnessed a major spike in its daily volume. The asset rose by nearly 100%, and its trading volume currently stands at $79.30 billion. The overall market sentiment remains bullish, with 74% of 413842 individuals staying positive about the asset’s potential rise. Amidst this, 26% of voters were still skeptical regarding BTC moving towards the $80,000 mark.
Elaborating on the asset’s latest surge, Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm said,
“The sentiment toward BTC shows an overwhelming amount of FOMO at the moment, with 5.5 positive comments for every 1.0 negative comments across social media. With an all-time high potentially happening imminently, expect major volatility and notably sentiment-driven price movement until (and likely shortly after) this historic election is decided.“
