Will Bitcoin Peak To $36,000 Before The Week Close? Here's What Might Lead To It

Macro-economic factors have been constantly pushing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) prices higher as softer market data leads the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates. This makes Bitcoin an attractive asset for macro investors and hedge funds.

What Happened: As reported by Kitco, Mathieu Ziaei, portfolio manager and risk officer at Criptonite Asset Management, states, “Adding these thoughts with the fact that Bitcoin owners have such strong convictions in their asset, that 88.5% of holders haven’t moved any Bitcoin in the past three months — a period in which Bitcoin has gained more than +44% amidst a broader trend of being up +110% YTD. This might just be a warm-up to what comes next.”

Benzinga's Future Of Digital Assets Event in New York is scheduled on Nov. 14. Attend and witness discussions regarding BTC price targets and what experts have to say about it. The gathering is seen as pivotal for the digital assets community. The event will spotlight the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in the digital asset realm.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC prices have seen a surge of 2.5% currently trading very close at $35,918.10 — just below the $36,000 mark. Meanwhile, the past 24-hour trading volume saw a gain of 28.5% while the market cap expanded by 1.8%.

Glassnode’s Miners’ Wallets Balances data as reported by FXEmpire, highlights that BTC Miners over the weekend collected $18.5 million in Bitcoin.
