Gladstein mentioned the political initiatives of the Bukele government and other issues that made Bitcoin adoption an interesting chapter in the country’s history. However, personally, the benefits of any Salvadoran are still obvious.

Bitcoin is expected to receive difficulty gains for the fourth time in a row
Bitcoin price movements continue to be supported by fundamentals, but they refuse to give up the pace of rising.
In less than two days, the next automatic re-adjustment will add one Estimated 2.5% The difficulty of Bitcoin has increased for the fourth time in a row.
As Cointelegraph Report Last week, this will be the first such event since Bitcoin broke through $50,000 for the first time in February.

By Christmas, the inventory flow will reach $100,000
The new month requires a new update to one of Bitcoin’s most accurate price prediction models, the inventory-to-flow (S2F) series.
Although BTC/USD is still far below the daily technical goal of the model, its creator PlanB, Accurately called The monthly closing price in August was $47,000.
Since the lowest closing price in September was US$43,000, analysts confirmed that the average price of US$100,000 later this year is still easy to achieve.
“The baseline S2F forecast of $100,000 before Christmas is still valid (or more accurately: the average for the 2020-2024 halving period is $100,000),” he said Tweet The chart next to Sunday.

Extreme greed is back
Those who are concerned about a rebound in the price of Bitcoin may prove to be correct.
According to sentiment indicators Crypto Fear and Greed Index, Traders have returned to the “extremely greedy” mentality.
As a result, Fear & Greed scored 79/100, which is only 16 points away from its all-time high area, which has triggered corrective actions in the past.
To avoid being touched prematurely, BTC price increases need to be slow and steady, so impulsive actions may still prove to be unsustainable.
Nevertheless, the index was 79 in August and has remained between 70 and 80 for the past four weeks.
Funding interest rates help generate a sense of expectation. The interest rate is much lower than the level when BTC broke through $50,000 for the first time at the beginning of this year, and it is much lower than the level of excitement in April.
In other words, traders are much more cautious this time and will not tend to be bearish if the price tries to regain the $50,000 level. However, this may actually increase the likelihood of a short squeeze and more increases in Bitcoin prices in the coming days.
