Bitcoin (BTC) has reached its highest value in the past month, surpassing the $67,422 mark after a week of substantial gains. This significant price increase, the highest since April 13, indicates a strong recovery for the leading cryptocurrency in the market. Interestingly, Bitcoin is showing signs that it may end the week with a 10% surge in value.
One of the factors contributing to Bitcoin’s recovery is the renewed interest in BTC spot index funds in the United States. These exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have played a crucial role in positively impacting the cryptocurrency market, signaling the growing confidence of institutional investors in digital currencies.
There is now speculation regarding whether Bitcoin could reach $70,000. Santiment, a well-known on-chain analysis company, recently released a report suggesting that this possibility is gaining strength. According to Santiment’s analysis, there has been a significant increase in positive sentiment towards Bitcoin, as indicated by the weighted sentiment metric.
The weighted sentiment metric combines the sentiment score, which evaluates the overall outlook of the community towards the asset, whether positive or negative, with social volume, which measures the level of discussions about Bitcoin on social media platforms. The recent shift in sentiment towards Bitcoin is particularly noteworthy, especially when accompanied by high discussion volume and a clear positive or negative consensus.
Santiment explains that their metric is based on two sub-metrics: sentiment score and social volume. The sentiment score assesses whether the crowd has a positive or negative perception of the asset, while social volume tracks the total amount of discussions surrounding an asset on social media.
At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin stands at $66,920.45, reflecting a 0.5% increase in the last 24 hours.
