1) People have been accumulating coins at approximatelly 600+ dollars for over a month which represents how resistances are build (nobody wants to sell for less than he bought).
2) We had the halving and it works like a charm, less coins are put into circulation every day and the demand is still on the rise
3) Bitcoins gradually go to more hands! That's the base point of price appreciation, we have a non inflatory currency split at 21 million parts and 7bn people to use them
