OP I'm not really seeing any pump on Bitcoin now, rather I would call it retracement, I believe it just normal demand and supply, the price was $36k sometime ago which later fall to $26k there about but am not sure on the exact amount and now it has started retracing back which is normal market movement, so for now I wouldn't call it a pump on less it breaks $36k. Secondly I don't think Bitcoin moves based on speculation and news because is not a Meme coin that moves based on speculation and news

What drives any pump in bitcoin can simply be summarized to be high demands. Now the question is what creates or brings about this high demand, I would say it news surrounding it. Take for example the recent announcement of many institutions looking into Bitcoin ETF this caused a little FOMO and people started buying and this caused the pump. Another reason again could be government policies, should a top country relaxes there policy against bitcoin it becomes news and insights demand.

But the major reason for bitcoin pump is usually the halving period. Before each halving period many investors rush to buy bitcoin because they feel the reduction of its availability will actually cause it to become scarce and expensive. For example a block mined is rewarded at 6.25 bitcoin after the next halving it reduce to 3.125 which would make it expensive. So this demands actually cause the pump we see

The market always have those elements. Sometimes some elements outperform others and lead the market. In bull run, positive news lead the market and triggers hype. In bear market, negative news lead the market and cause fear, panic. It always have combination of many market elements.

How do you think this pump will impact the overall cryptocurrency market?

Bitcoin leads the market but it is difficult to know how it leads altcoins. It is very complicated and you see two diagrams that will make you more uncertain.

Not a surprise and we do get this often.

Do you believe it was primarily driven by positive news, investor speculation, increased mainstream awareness, or a combination of these factors?

Yes.

It can't be denied that whenever there's a good news like those Bitcoin ETF applications, that really drives the market positively. But do not forget about the halving effect and before it happens, there's also the force that it creates.

As always, there will be some motion that it can do to the market. You just need to get used to it whether there is an impact or none.

What you call "pump" is actually a recovery after the big "messiahs" of the crypto world Bankman & Kwon did their dirty work and knocked the price down by 50%, that is, right from where it is now. Anything under $69k can't and shouldn't be called a pump, but a lot of people believe in good fairies, dwarves and the like and you can sell them any news, and most seem to have already bitten the hook that BlackRock and Fidelity threw.

The market is slowly completing its bearish months but it is not completed yet. Before the halving in 2024, likely in April, we will not enter a new bull market. I can not know when it starts but market is still bearish.

Bearish before a bull run so I don't think sell now, believe in a prediction that market will dive again, and buy back is a good plan. We can not outsmart the market so if we have coins, hold them and don't sell them within few months before a halving next year.

Big news will not come in bear market and believe that it will come in these days is not realistic.

[KiaKia]

What pumps are you talking about because presently there is no pump happening, only sideways movement, and this should continue for a long period of time, the stage we are in right now is where everything gets more boring as time passes on, and many people will either get tired of holding or even start to sell their bags, we have forgotten that Bitcoin hit its lowest price in 2020 and that's in the same year that halving happened, see what I am talking about here? Just because halving is coming in 2021 doesn't mean we have seen the lowest price for Bitcoin this year.

Why should this attract for more discussion when this is not the very first time we will be having the experience of bull and bear market with bitcoin knowing that it's a volatile digital cryptocurrency, I want to believe we aren't still yet in the bull season but rather having a preparatory stage getting unfold for us to begin to sense how it will look like when the actual time for bullrun finally arrives as we are getting more closer.

Do you believe it was primarily driven by positive news, investor speculation, increased mainstream awareness, or a combination of these factors?

Well, i will like to say that it's a combination of the aforementioned factors but you need to have the understanding that these factors only have a little percentage of the rate in which they influence this, the major drive in this is the supply and demand market flow for the bitcoin network.

If bitcoin rises, there's more of the certainty that many of the altcoins will also rises along side together with bitcoin during bullrun except for few

[pooya87]

First of all the term "pump" is usually used in a duo with "dump" and it is when the price is artificially increased and is expected to be followed by a drop of equal or bigger size.

Secondly this is not a big rise. This was actually pretty small going back to above $30k and if you zoom out a little you can see that we have been seeing a pattern of ups and downs that are inside a fixed range between $25k and $30k ever since March (about 3 or 4 months).
In other words this recent small rise doesn't really need a major news. However if price broke out of $35k resistance, that would be a different story.

Anything under $69k can't and shouldn't be called a pump, but a lot of people believe in good fairies, dwarves and the like and you can sell them any news, and most seem to have already bitten the hook that BlackRock and Fidelity threw.

Not only that but there were actually 3 pumps, with the others in January and March, and if we somehow try to figure each of them out and why the previous one didn't just rise to the next level when the triggers where the same probably we're going to end in a never-ending debate. Plus . I don't understand this so-called enthusiasm sometimes, especially in cases when it comes from the same that put memes with Bitcoins rising up 1000000000% times since 2009, for gods; sake if we go back all this "pump" has managed to do is give us 50% on the December 2017 pump, and once you count those 6 years in the equation it stops being such a formidable thing.

Just as you said, many 1 million by Christmas newbies are going to have a disheartening surprise.

Big news will not come in bear market and believe that it will come in these days is not realistic.

Unless you have big good news to lift up the price in a bear market you will not see the end of this bear market, there is no way out of it unless something big and positive appears.

All of the factors you mentioned, some do influence the bitcoin market price. Because actually the most important thing in bitcoin price movements, namely about demand and supply availability in the market. So that is the main factor that makes the price of bitcoin increase or decrease. But what makes the demand for bitcoin assets, namely there are several factors, and some of which you have mentioned. As an example of positive news about bitcoin, it will definitely make someone's mind interested in buying and owning bitcoin, and if there are many people who are affected by positive news about bitcoin, it will definitely make the demand in the bitcoin market increase.

And regarding the recent bitcoin price, I think it's all a surge in buying by bitcoin investors, aiming to hoard more of the asset, in preparation for the upcoming bitcoin halving.

How do you think this pump will impact the overall cryptocurrency market? Looking forward to hearing your insights and opinions!"

Usually, if the price of bitcoin has increased, the price of other cryptos has also usually increased quite a bit. Maybe it's all been a cycle where bitcoin goes up, other cryptos go up too (fundamentally influenced).

These variables you listed have all contributed to the current price increase.

The Bitcoin market has been in a bearish state for far too long, and we are now in the third quarter of 2023, a few months before Bitcoin halving, so any positive news will cause price movement in order to achieve saturation before the projected pump during, before, or after halving.

I believe Bitcoin will never fall below $30k again, given we are rapidly approaching halving and BTC is still much below its all-time high.

As we all know, demand is the only thing behind every market price increase. But knowing exactly what created the demand, is close to impossible 'coz there are many factors affecting the demand; news, communities such as this forum, big investor manipulation, month of the year(?), issues and more. Bottomline is demand. But if we would base in this industry  solely, this might be because of the upcoming halving. Indeed there's still a long way but that's just how powerful expectations are. Many people in this industry know what happened with the previous one therefore many investors are accummulating at this piint even if there's a chance for a lower market price along the way.

Favourable news drove this price, in my opinion. The UK crypto regulation news or the Bitcoin ETF news either can be the cause.

A trader should treat these as just numbers and not try to delineate the cause because the end result does not change their approach nor their profit. But one should keep track of the news nonetheless.

But it is too early to call this a pump. It might be a bullish trend, but give it more time to see whether its a temporary rise or a bull market back to 70k USD.

[Faisal2202]

The current pump is not that big, which is already been told by many members here but I will take the meaning of the pump here as to why the price of BTC increased from $26k to $31k and currently as of writing this reply i can see the market is pushing again to break it's the resistance of $31k and I think if it keeps pushing, it could break the resistance and will set it as support.

Now coming to the part of why all of this is happening. I would mention some news here that might help you out to figure this small pump.

• MicroStrategy buys $347M worth of Bitcoin amid market thaw
• Bitcoin miners send record $128M in revenue to exchanges
• The Great Accumulation' of Bitcoin has begun, says Gemini's Winklevoss
• BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF ‘is the best thing to happen' to BTC, or is it?
• Japanese and Singaporean regulators join forces on crypto pilot project
• Hong Kong govt pressures banking giants to accept crypto clients

The list of news (good News) is long and I only mentioned those which came in front of me but I could share more. But the point is, from the mid of June, all the governments made crypto bleed first then at the end of June they came up with different ideas to promote the adoption of crypto in different areas of the world.

I think there are 2 main reasons behind the bump.

1.- The current news about Binance and the SEC. It was a complex fight that crashed for a moment the market's at the start, but in the end, Binance won the fight, so, which brings more trust and it was a huge marketing campaign for cryptos.

2.- Money laundering, let's be honest in 2023 no one sends their money to the Bahamas, nowadays a lot of them hide it with Bitcoin and other cryptos.

Currently, many factors can increase or decrease the price of Bitcoin. If you saw what happened before Bitcoin hit ATH yesterday, you already know what drives its price to increase. And because the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing, it makes some parties who don't like Bitcoin make a lot of negative news so that Bitcoin can't rise and fall deeper.

But that won't stop Bitcoin because Bitcoin has become stronger than ever. And negative or positive news will be fuel as a price increase. The pump that comes into the market may be a push for the price to increase, no matter what's going on out there. And when it does, there's no stopping it.

The pump that comes is a process to return the price to its original highest price and to push the price up even higher. But the price is still inclined sideways for now because there is no significant price increase. Maybe soon it will happen but maybe we will see another correction before it happens.

When there are more trades in the Bitcoin market, the price of Bitcoin increases automatically. and there are plenty of reasons to increase trade in the market such as new whales getting involved in Bitcoin. again there may be a big company starting to accept Bitcoin payments etc. there are many news that make traders panic and buy Bitcoin. this is how the market continues to improve and the recent pump may be due to such a reason, but that reason has not caught my eye yet

The price of Bitcoin might rise for a number of reasons, but the major one, in my opinion, is when adoption rises.However, I might see the current rise in the price of bitcoin as news regarding Binance and the SEC.

On the other hand, the halving period is quickly approaching, and following a significant price decline brought on by the bear market, we anticipate a gradual rebound of the price of bitcoin.Now, I do not perceive this rise in the price of bitcoin as a pump, but rather a rebound.
