Bitcoin Surges to Over $80,000 on Aggressive Spot Demand

The recent surge in bitcoin's price to over $80,000 has been attributed to aggressive spot demand, marking a significant shift in the market's dynamics. According to Bitfinex analysts, the rally is driven by ETFs and open-market accumulation, which have offset waning purchases from Michael Saylor's Strategy.

Historical data suggests that conviction buyers, who are entities that accumulate BTC and rarely sell regardless of price, often precede major recoveries when they increase their holdings. Currently, these buyers hold around 4 million BTC, a trend that has significant implications for crypto adoption and DeFi market sentiment.
