As the holiday season approaches, anticipation in the cryptocurrency world heightens for the annual phenomenon known as the “Santa rally.” Amidst this festive period, market dynamics tend to shift. This season, there are several factors that could influence the last few months of the year.
Cryptocurrency prices spiked notably at the end of 2020 and 2021, driven by increased investor optimism and institutional interest. Major financial institutions and hedge funds began viewing (BTC) not just as a speculative asset but as a hedge against inflation and a potential store of value. Large companies like Square and MicroStrategy added major Bitcoin holdings to their balance sheets, further solidifying this image shift.
