"The major factors driving the price of BTC in the last few weeks are whale accumulation and the US dollar index rising to a 20-year high. If BTC can stay above the current level, we might see an upward growth above the $22,400 level with a change in the trendline soon," said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex.
