So what about the sudden price increase lately, what could have contributed to it? Could this be because of Rouhani recent threat to US and UK? I believe things are tensioning out lately yet price is increasing.
I personally still don't think the previous price increase was as a result of the imposed war. It could be normal market activities or some investors are using this means to signal more buy.
I don't really believe that the price increase was just normal but a reaction to the tension between the United States of America and Iranian government. This is so because, there was rumours of price increase in Iran local crypto currency exchange and that led to higer demand of Bitcoin followed by other altcoins.
I agree though we don't know real circumstances behind. But the most obvious part is that the major exchange happens may be triggers other people to join the possible hype not knowing that it is just one of the many factors. However we couldn't blame them, could we? Still they drives the market at some spot though.
