Despite Bitcoin (BTC) surpassing $66,000, a report from Bitfinex analysts has caused panic.
Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past $66,000, yet Bitfinex analysts’ recent report has sparked concerns among investors.
After Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Bitcoin took off, quickly surpassing $66,000. Rising from $53,500, BTC has instilled confidence in the market and its investors. However, the latest report from cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex advises caution.
“We believe the current progress in the cryptocurrency market is driven more by news headlines than fundamental factors,” said Bitfinex analysts. “Concerns about selling pressure have not been completely alleviated, as Mt. Gox creditors are expected to receive BTC payments in the coming weeks. We anticipate these developments will continue to impact the price before the situation is fully priced in,” they added.
Bitcoin’s recent surge from $58,000 to $66,000 occurred after a major event last weekend when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Bitget Research’s chief analyst, Ryan Lee, commented, “Trump survived an assassination attempt over the weekend, and the markets are interpreting this as a significant boost to his chances of winning future elections.”
Meanwhile, Germany’s crypto wallet was reset last Friday, with the government transferring all its Bitcoins to various exchanges and market makers. Mt. Gox continues to move billions of dollars’ worth of BTC in anticipation of creditor payments.
