Bitcoin may usher in a new bull market, with the price breaking through $62,000

According to CryptoPotato, the recent sharp rise in Bitcoin prices, breaking through $62,000, has sparked market speculation about a new bull run. Some key factors suggest that Bitcoin may be about to set a new all-time high. First of all, April this year will see the halving of Bitcoin which will reduce the production speed of new Bitcoins and potentially increase its value from a supply-demand perspective. Historically, overall markets have recovered after halving events. Secondly, investors are moving from centralized platforms to self-custody methods indicating increased confidence in the market and willingness to hold Bitcoin long-term. In addition, interest in Bitcoin on Google searches is still rising but remains far below levels at the end of 2021. Major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA) also need to catch up with record interest three years ago suggesting they too may be about to enter a new bull run.
