Why?

The strong performance of Bitcoin on October 24, 2023, and during that period could be attributed to several factors:

    • Positive news, regulatory developments, or broader economic factors often influence cryptocurrency prices. Bitcoin, being the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency, tends to benefit significantly from positive market sentiments.

  • Increased interest and investment from institutional investors can lead to significant price movements. If there were announcements of major financial institutions or corporations investing in Bitcoin around that time, it could have driven the price up.

  • Macroeconomic conditions such as inflation rates, currency devaluation, or financial market instability can lead to increased investment in Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

  • Any upgrades or improvements in the Bitcoin network, such as enhancements that improve scalability, security, or transaction speed, can positively impact its value
