Bitcoin touched a high of $28,504 on Tuesday and briefly retraced in price towards the $27,750 level. BTC went from a low of $20,000 to $28,000 in less than two weeks, making it a prime investment in the markets. However, leading altcoins and meme coins failed to join the bandwagon and they were mostly up by a bit in the market, except for Ethereum which went from $1,400 to $1,800. Both BTC and ETH rallied in the last two weeks despite the banking crisis that rocked the global stock markets. Financial expert John Squire, the partner at Ojamu, an AI & Blockchain-powered platform, spoke exclusively to Watcher Guru about Bitcoin’s recent rise.
