As Bloomberg noted, the risk of escalation related to the upcoming visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi) to Taiwan has forced investors to ditch US stocks and futures.
Prior to these events, Bitcoin showed a positive trend after surging 27% in July, its biggest one-month rise since last October. Over the weekend, its value narrowly approached $25,000, raising hopes that the worst for the cryptocurrency market this year is over “Cryptocurrency Winter” may end soon.

According to Craig Erlam, Senior Market Analyst at Oanda, Bitcoin’s surge has been over the past month “Completely similar to the bear market rally seen in stock markets.” He acknowledged that the cryptocurrency could continue to grow.
According to Coinglass, Bitcoin will soon be trading in the $20,000 to $25,000 range.
