The Chinese mining ban had a crippling effect on the Bitcoin fortunes. However, Bitcoin was repairing the impact and slowly recovering the lost ground. However, last week’s recovery was more substantial than expected.
Instead of a dip in values, BTC prices have surged and held on to their gains which until last reports came in was a total of 23% in a week. What many experts had predicted as impossible has become true. It is hard to conjure the state of affairs of Bitcoin was so pitiable seven days ago, and today the Bitcoin surge has become the flavor of the month for analytics.
Investors’ maintained faith and their optimism are not unfounded
It was a painful three months for Bitcoin as it was hit by one cataclysmic event after another. It was the same headlines every day for the last couple of months-Carnage; mayhem and despair hung like a heavy cloud upon Bitcoin and the crypto trade in general. However, a minuscule number of investors maintained faith, and their optimism is not unfounded.

BTC/USD also broke the 21-week exponential moving average. According to analyst Rekt Capital is a sure shot and time-tested indicator of a bull run.
The supply shock is back.
While Ross was quick to add that such predictions are an intelligent guess, he reeled out an increasing number of on-chain indicators to support his predictions. Presently Hash rate is back above 100 exahashes per second (EH/s) after bottoming at 83 EH/s, while difficulty saw its first positive readjustment since the May price crash on Saturday.
Powerful Hodlers are now back in control.
Bullish sentiments are also reflected by Investor behavior. Powerful Hodlers with little to no history of selling their BTC are now back in control at levels never seen before. They were conspicuous by their absence since Bitcoin’s current all-time high of $64,500 in April.
