This is also the 54th largest movement when comparing the daily high and low. The last time this was observed on January 14, 2015.
According to Kruger, such a rapid growth is due exclusively to fundamental factors, namely, a statement by President Xi Jinping of the PRC in which he supported the development of the blockchain.
Coinmetrics founder Nick Carter said thatclosing a daily candle at $ 10,000 will make the day the third most profitable in the history of bitcoin. He recorded the latest such movements in 2010-2011.
The blockchain appeared on the front page of the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily, and some universities in the PRC have already promised to open courses.
At the same time, the newspaper does not say anything about cryptocurrencies, nor about bitcoin in particular. Jinping’s blockchain announcement also affected XNET’s share growth of over 100%.
