The price of bitcoin (BTC) rose above $40,000 Saturday as the leading cryptocurrency has nearly regained all its losses suffered since reaching an all-time high in early January.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.

  BTC hit $40,538.66 before falling back to $40,272.56, up 4.91% in the last 24 hours, putting it back within striking distance of the all-time high of $41.962.36 set on Jan. 8.

  After hitting that high-water mark, BTC lost nearly a third (31.25%) of its value and all its spectacular year-to-date gains, bottoming out at $28,845.31 on Jan. 22.

  After moving sideways for a week or so, over the last seven days BTC has made a string of upward moves, culminating in today's rise. Year-to-date BTC's gain is 36.91% and it's up 39.72% from Jan. 22.

  Helping to drive this latest run is fresh interest on the part of institutional money such as Ray Dalios Bridgewater Associates, which manages $150 billion in investor money, and the Miller Opportunity Trust. It may also be getting a boost from MicroStrategy's WORLD.NOW BTC-themed conference this past week.

  “Bridgewaters piece out last week had a sensitivity analysis which showed their estimates of BTC price, should private holders of gold switch to BTC,” states a weekly investor note Friday from quantitative trading firm QCP Capital.

  “They forecasted that should 50% of capital in gold move into BTC, that would result in a price of $85,000 per 1 BTC.”
