I was a little confused when I read the headline, considering that I didn't notice that the price reached $53k, and then I checked the date of the article, which is from February 21 when the price (depending on where we look) was close to $53k but did not reach it.
However, we need to be realistic and understand that all this that has been happening since the beginning of the year has a cause in the approval of spot BTC ETFs in the US, which according to some data have accumulated around 300 000 BTC so far, which is an impressive figure - although they use the OTC market and that's why the price is still under relative control.
My opinion is that we will see the real action only in the months after the halving, with a note that summer in the Northern Hemisphere is not exactly a time in which a lot of things happen, considering that most people travel for their annual vacations then.
