On March 4, Bitcoin surged past $64,000 and is currently trading at $64,050, marking a nearly 4% increase in the past 24 hours and over 24% increase in just a week.

Analysts from Matrixport highlight the interconnection between institutional demand and physical demand, driving BTC prices higher due to supply and demand imbalances.

The Bitcoin bull market continues with a mix of institutional and retail demand. The supply/demand imbalance favors higher Bitcoin prices.

According to K33 experts, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are gaining significance, potentially fueling BTC price to surpass its previous all-time high of nearly $70,000. The upcoming halving in spring 2024 is expected to be another growth driver.
