The key to this comeback of the crypto market is the major developments that are happening and about to happen. The hottest topic right now is El Salvador's Bitcoin law that will take effect on September 7, 2021, making this Central American nation the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as its national currency. Institutional adoption, supply shortages, NFT, and the DeFi craze are other major contributing factors.

Price action looks strong as the price continues Chinese FUD on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies may not have any effect on the market this time. The next target is $ 52,000 and experts believe much more than this, such as $ 100K for BTC.
Although $ 100K seems unlikely in 2021, the next update of Taproot could help Bitcoin cross the ATH seen in mid-April 2021.
