The price of Bitcoin (BTC) rose more than 10% to reach a new 2024 high of $64,000 on February 28. Most of this month’s 50% price move is attributed to investors’ anticipation of the upcoming supply halving, which is usually followed by a sharp rise in prices.
Steady inflows into the recently launched Bitcoin spot ETFs are also believed to be playing a pivotal role in Bitcoin price developments.

Wow… $IBIT raised $520 million alone, the biggest haul for a btc ETF in history and the second largest value of any ETF yesterday, only $IVV raised more cash… it’s now $8k million in total, the top 5% among all ETFs. This means that a good portion of that massive volume was new purchases once morest arb/algo.
Some technical analysts have warned that Bitcoin’s market structure and high funding rates across the market are a sign of heavy use of leverage and the eventual emergence of a sell-off-driven correction.
I read many 200K forecasts. Just to note here that we are now close to resistance area between 65K-68K.
3 years ago I drew attention to that resistance. I once more draw your attention to the horizontal resistance. pic.twitter.com/9VzwViYzMh

3 years ago I highlighted this resistance. I draw your attention once more to horizontal resistance.
Meanwhile, options analysts ignore voices claiming the price movement is overextended, and express their view that Bitcoin’s current price rally has a way to go.
Citing key Bitcoin options markets, open interest and funding rate, analyst Chris Newhouse said:
“In my view, the recent rally has aspects of a derivatives-driven move combined with an undercurrent of spot demand thanks to record ETF inflows. The breakout of the $53,000 zone demonstrated relative strength, the “Volumes were high, natural demand was there and momentum traders had started to enter the market.”
Independent market analyst Nunya Bizniz added to the bullish outlook for Bitcoin price, noting that Bitcoin’s monthly rise was above 70 and highlighting the fact that in previous market cycles, the price of BTC remained at a uptrend for at least 335 days following the RSI exceeded 70.
