Bitcoin, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, on Monday seemed to be acquiring its mojo back right after a six-week lull. The virtual currency on Monday peaked to $39571 at 6:44 a.m — highest given that the $40,517 mark on June 16, according to information from CoinGecko. Bitcoin had began to rally from $29,599 on July 21 to $34,624 at 4:30 a.m. Monday prior to it shot up 14.2 per cent to the new higher in about 75 minutes. Bitcoin was trading at $38,362 at the time of filing this report. Expert sees Amazon’s current job posting, which indicated its foray into cryptocurrencies for payments ahead, as one of the motives for the most recent spurt in Bitcoin’s value.
“Bitcoin’s recent rally can be attributed broadly to two crucial events. First was the job posting on the Amazon website for the position of blockchain product lead. It added fire to the news about Amazon contemplating accepting Bitcoin payments in the future. It led to a massive shift in the momentum from bearish to highly bullish across the crypto spectrum,” Edul Patel, CEO & Co-Founder, Mudrex told TheSpuzz Online.
According to the job posting by Amazon, its Payment Acceptance & Experience group, which appears right after its payments organization, is seeking to employ a digital currency and blockchain solution lead at its headquarters in Seattle, Washington. The posting study that the candidate will leverage his/her domain experience in blockchain, distributed ledger, central bank digital currencies and cryptocurrency to create the case for the capabilities which really should be created, drive the general vision and solution tactic, and get leadership purchase-in and investment for new capabilities.

“Another reason for Bitcoin rally is several short positions on BTC got liquidated, which pushed the prices even higher. Bears are the ones who profit by bringing the markets down. However, if the market moves in the direction opposite to what they initially predicted, traders place a ‘stop-loss’ to cut losses. Since the markets moved higher in a very short period of time, these traders didn’t have the chance to modify their trades, and these stop-losses got triggered,” added Patel. On the quick positions, these cease-losses are basically ‘buy’ orders and as demand for Bitcoin elevated, the rates moved even greater.
Last week, Tesla’s Elon Musk at the Bitcoin-focused conference B Word had stated that the corporation would resume accepting Bitcoin as payment for its vehicles after he confirms with a tiny more due diligence about the share of renewable power usage that is involved in mining Bitcoins. “I wanted a little bit more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50%, and that there is a trend towards increasing that number, and if so Tesla would resume accepting bitcoin” Reuters had reported quoting Musk.
