Bitcoin price is back in the mid-$50,000 range<\/a>, unable to push any lower despite bears best efforts and overheated technical indicators pointing to a potential trend reversal. However, several fundamental factors are proving to be too strong, and are setting the stage for the next leg up in the ongoing cryptocurrency bull trend instead.<\/p>\n Here’s what rising stablecoin supply says in the face of diminishing BTC reserves on exchanges, and what it could mean for all of crypto.<\/p>\n Cryptocurrencies, like all free markets, are driven by the dynamic forces of supply and demand. Other factors, such as regulatory, political, environmental, and economical issues can also have a dramatic impact.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Technicals Overheated, But Bullish Fundamentals Remain Unfazed<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Two examples of one extreme or another, include the Black Thursday market crash due to pandemic panic, and the polar opposite move to the upside due to a BTC supply shock<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A shift in avalaible supply and increasing demand for Bitcoin, has brought the price per coin to more than $60,000 at the high.

Quant analysts have said that fresh USD was necessary<\/a> to push higher, however, an increase in stablecoins could shift more capital into Bitcoin, and have a similar impact.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the leading cryptocurrency by market cap can sustain the current support levels and keep several bearish technicals at bay<\/a>, then another leg up is the only way ahead. A continued rise could squeeze shorts at current all-time highs, causing prices to return to their parabolic trajectory.<\/p>\nFundamental Factors Have Fueled The Cryptocurrency’s Recent Rise To Stardom<\/h2>\n
