The price of Bitcoin (BTC)\u00a0has reached a new 2023 high of $25,000.\u00a0The milestone comes after a surge in Bitcoin’s price over much of January. <\/p>\n
The last time Bitcoin\u2019s price was around $25,000 was near mid-June 2022 on its way down to between $19,000 and $21,000, where it had hovered for several months,\u00a0according to data from CoinGecko. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The price of BTC however took a big dip in November following the FTX crisis, which saw it drop to a 2022 low of $15,742 on Nov. 10. 2022.<\/p>\n
The price began to surge in early January, when the price of BTC increased over 14 consecutive days between Jan. 4-17. <\/p>\n
That daily green candle streak was its second longest in the cryptocurrency\u2019s 14-year history \u2014 having fallen one day short of its 15-day record in November 2013.<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin bull believes actions from the U.S. Federal Reserve will likely impose \u201cconsiderable danger ahead\u201d for BTC in the second half of 2023.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Galaxy Digital Holdings CEO Mike Novogratz is more bullish over the short term.<\/p>\n Speaking at a Bank of America conference on Feb. 15, Novogratz reportedly said there\u2019s a chance BTC could hit $30,000 by the end of March. <\/p>\n
