Record-breaking Bitcoin surge: 3 key factors fueling its price climb
Bitcoin (BTC) is on a roll, breaking past the $105,500 mark and currently hovering around $104,300. This bullish rally has gained 24.6% in the last month, sparking conversations about hitting the all-time high of $110,000. Let's dive into the three key factors fueling this price surge:
1. Off the Exchanges, Into the Wallets
A significant increase in BTC withdrawals from centralized exchanges indicates investors are transferring their crypto assets to personal wallets. By doing so, they reduce selling pressure, causing an upward price movement. Experts believe that this trend is strengthening the Bitcoin market.
2. New Money in Town
Interest in Bitcoin isn't just from Wall Street whales. Recent weeks have seen a surge in individual investors diving into the crypto space, as reflected in the spike in Google searches for "bitcoin." On May 9 alone, 350,000 new wallets were created on the Bitcoin network. While we're not quite back to the bull market levels, it's obvious that FOMO is alive and kicking. Historically, collective interest like this has usually signaled price peaks.
3. US-China Truce: Good News for Everyone?
US and Chinese officials recently agreed to extend the tariff truce, reducing tariffs from 155% to 30% for the US and 125% to 10% for China. The easing of global tensions could potentially boost investor confidence and positively impact both traditional and crypto markets. Could this be the trigger for Bitcoin to surge past the $110,000 mark? Only time will tell.
So, grab your wallet and jump aboard the Bitcoin rollercoaster. But remember, as the great Warren Buffett said, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The Fear and Greed Index is currently in the "greed" zone, so exercise caution.
As for the RSI approaching 75, it suggests that Bitcoin might be overbought for a short-term correction. But don't worry, Bitcoin isn't known for playing by the rules, and it might just continue soaring anyway.

The surge in individual investors, as indicated by the spike in Google searches for "bitcoin" and the creation of 350,000 new wallets on the Bitcoin network, could potentially contribute to Bitcoin reaching its all-time high of $110,000. Web3 finance and technology are playing significant roles in this rally, with the decentralization of BTC through increased withdrawals from exchanges strengthening the market.
