Rajagopal Menon, vice-president, WazirX said: “Bitcoin surged past the $71,000 mark, indicating potential for further growth amidst robust trading volumes. This rally signifies renewed interest and optimism, supported by several key technical indicators.”
He added: “A weaker dollar this week has provided a boost to crypto markets. Cryptocurrency has broken out of its recent $60,000-70,000 trading range, and is now just $3,000 shy of a new record high. The recent months saw Bitcoin’s price constrained by profit-taking, high interest rates, and tempered enthusiasm over Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, the prospect of lower interest rates this year appears to be reigniting interest in the cryptocurrency market.”
