Bitcoin Rallies While USDT Supply Surges
Bitcoin's price action from 2022 up until April 2025 involves high volatility with an overall uptrend in the long term. Bitcoin moved upward fluctuating between $15,000 to $25,000 early in 2023. December 2022 and September 2023 pullbacks temporarily halted momentum. Bitcoin went on a sharp rise in October 2023, breaking over $30,000 and continuing to break through resistance levels.

Most recently in April 2025, Bitcoin was fluctuating around $90,000. This trend goes to prove increasing investor optimism within periodic corrections.
