Forces Behind Bitcoin Rally   

It is believed this rally is driven by institutional investments. The cryptocurrency community thinks that the institutional money is the one driving this particular Bitcoin rally. According to AMBCrypto report, the Bitcoin price began to skyrocket towards $10,000 when “Tether Treasury minted almost 100 million USDT, which was speculated by many users to be the cause, just like last time.”  

However, sceptics including Peter Schiff, a financial commentator, believe this rally is nothing but a bubble again and others think that it could be due to pump of BTC price.
