Bitcoin’s price has fallen in recent days amid mounting selling pressure from Mt. Gox refunds and a bleak economic outlook. Despite this, El Salvador still buys one Bitcoin (BTC) per day.
According to data from BitInfoCharts, a cold wallet controlled by the government of El Salvador has accumulated 1 BTC since mid-March, when Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele transferred the country’s BTC assets to the cold wallet and published the address.

The March revelation also marked the first time the president publicly disclosed El Salvador’s Bitcoin wallet address. Previously, he only updated information about new Bitcoin purchases on social channels.
El Salvador’s steady Bitcoin purchases are part of Bukele’s daily buying strategy. The president announced in 2022 that the country would begin buying one Bitcoin per day starting November 18, 2022.
The activation of the strategy followed a historic move in September 2021, when El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
Previously, Bukele said that the country does not just buy BTC, but accumulates it through passport sales, currency conversions, mining operations and other government services.
According to Reuters, on May 15, 2024, El Salvador mined 473.5 Bitcoin (BTC) using geothermal energy from the Tecapa volcano.
El Salvador recently revealed its plans to advanced Bitcoin integration in its banking system. The government has reportedly put forward a reform proposal to create a private investment bank that allows trading in Bitcoin and the US dollar.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Cryptocurrency Markets Look Ready to ‘Send’ as Stars Align, According to Investor Chris Burniske
Cryptocurrency investor Chris Burniske says Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SUN) and the cryptocurrency market in general seem poised for a run.
Former Head of Cryptocurrency at ARK Invest account his 292,200 followers on social media platform X that several catalysts are aligning, suggesting that digital asset markets are on the verge of a bull run.
According to Burniske, a partner at venture capital firm Placeholder, the highly anticipated launch of Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaking at an upcoming Bitcoin event, and the current state of the BTC, ETH, and SOL charts all suggest significant optimism for the cryptocurrency markets.
“With ETH ETFs set to go live, Trump speaking at The Bitcoin Conference, and BTC, ETH, and SOL charts looking [they do] (while stocks are weak), it’s hard to imagine a world where we don’t ship next week.”
Reuters recently reported that preliminary approval for ETH ETFs has been granted as the Bitcoin Conference is scheduled to take place from July 25-27.
BTC, ETH, and SOL are trading at $67,333, $3,528, and $174 at the time of writing, respectively.
The venture capitalist too provides an update on his prediction that the total crypto market cap will eventually hit $10 trillion. According to his chart, the path to $10 trillion is currently “23%” complete, as it sits around $2.2 trillion.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K
Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.
Technical analysis
Per NegotiationRage
The daily chart
As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.
The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.
The 4-hour chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.
While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
