Before Make Prediction: What Influence Bitcoin’s Price?
As normal currency, Bitcoin is influenced by lots of factors,such as supply and demand, all the market stuffs, and etc. However, “hands we don’t see” also have good impact on it.

Secondly, the regulation. Federal officials announced that they would pay more attention to Bitcoin market, which brings up a lot of unanswered questions to this market. As called by some experts, regulation should be practiced not only to some major cryptocurrencies, but roundly and unswervingly.
Thirdly, events happened all around the world have something to do with the fluctuation of Bitcoin price.
Fun fact, it has everything to do with Celsius, a crypto-based lender and major holder of Staked Ethereum (stETH), which is Ethereum staked on the Lido platform, which is a 1:1 backed peg of ETH. Due to sudden redemptions, the balance between stETH and ETH seems to tilt significantly. The imbalance is now damaging Celsius Network. While this is also one background factor destabilizing Bitcoin markets, the other is the CPI inflation (Consumer Price Index) announcement on June 10, which is triggering a crash over the weekend and causing markets to cascade.
