BTC/USD Analysis – September 30, 2021

Symmetrical Triangle Breakout

After reaching a high of $42,591.0 and a low of $40,811.0, the BTC/USD pair finished at $41,551.0. The BTC/USD pair rose on Wednesday after falling for two days in a row, owing to a wave of optimistic sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Affirm, an online lender, has announced that consumers with savings accounts will soon invest in cryptocurrency. Max Levchin, the company's CEO, has stated that his team is working on a feature that would allow customers to buy and trade cryptocurrencies straight from their bank accounts.

Even though the release date for this item was not announced, the concept itself was enough to entice investors, causing the overall market mood to improve. As a result, the most popular cryptocurrency, bitcoin, soared and reported gains for the day.

Furthermore, Gavin Andresen, a former main developer for the bitcoin network, has made a bold forecast, predicting that Bitcoin will either grow to $6 million per coin or sink to zero. He admitted that his prognosis was a little science fiction but that it was highly likely. He went on to warn that transaction fees might reach $7500 by then, with most transactions taking place outside of the network.

Meanwhile, El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, has shared a video of what appears to be the world's first public Bitcoin mining plant, which uses electricity generated by volcanoes. He demonstrated the placement of numerous Bitcoin mining devices in a geothermal power station. The BTC/USD pair gained some strength due to this news, and its prices rose.

Furthermore, Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone stated that there was a strong probability that the United States would follow Canada in adopting the future-based BTC ETF. Over 30 applications have now been submitted with the SEC, and the fact that money is migrating from the United States to Canada is pressuring US regulators to legalize Bitcoin futures. He also stated that he expects Bitcoin to reach $100,000 in October, bolstering the increasing BTC/USD values on Wednesday.
