Adoption drives the price of Bitcoin (BTC)

A relationship of research firm Arcane revealed that there was a positive shift in market sentiment after Bitcoin broke the $ 11,000 resistance once again. Two days ago, Arcane recorded a change in the Fear and Greed Index which rose to 50 to place it “out of the fear zone”, as shown in the image below.

This is combined with an increase in the Bitcoin hash rate to an all-time high of 140 exahashes per second (EH / s) at the time of publication. In contrast to the beginning of 2020, the Bitcoin hash rate increased by 36%, as shown in the image below.
