Bitcoin's price has surged, reaching a 17-month high of over $35,200. This rapid increase of nearly $5,000 in just one day has pushed the total cryptocurrency market value beyond $1.24 trillion. As predictions about a Bitcoin ETF continue to rise, trading volume is nearing the $100 billion mark. Despite the upward trend, warnings about potential risks associated with late buy orders being erased by market makers have been issued. Analysts suggest that this market growth indicates a continued upward trajectory led by Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Steem, a potential alternative cryptocurrency, demonstrated significant potential with a 25% increase, outperforming Bitcoin's 12% rise. Investors are strongly advised to consider investing in Steem. Analyst James Stanley emphasizes the inverse correlation between DXY and BTC, predicting that upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data on October 26, 2023, could significantly impact BTC prices.
