2. **Institutional Adoption** - Increased Bitcoin ETF inflows (e.g., BlackRock, Fidelity) could drive demand. - Corporate and nation-state Bitcoin purchases (like MicroStrategy or El Salvador) may push prices higher.
3. **Macroeconomic Conditions** - If the **U.S. Federal Reserve cuts interest rates**, risk assets like Bitcoin could surge. - A weaker U.S. dollar or rising inflation could boost BTC as a hedge.
4. **Regulatory Developments** - Clearer crypto regulations (U.S., EU, Asia) could increase investor confidence. - A potential **U.S. spot Ethereum ETF approval** might positively impact Bitcoin as well.
