Elon Musk’s Twitter Bio Update Prompted Bitcoin Price Surge to 15 Percent

The world richest man Elon Musk changed his Twitter bio to “Bitcoin”, just this one word caused the price of bitcoin to spike to a 10- day high of $38,020 and sparked $387 million worth of short liquidations on major exchanges.

A report from Google also showed that searches for Bitcoin surged after Musk’s cryptic endorsement of bitcoin, this could translate into more buying and stronger price gains.

Bitcoin is trading at $37,390 which represents a more than 15 per cent gain from the low of $32,00 over the week.

However, the crypto market leader turned bullish after Musk changed his Twitter bio and tweeted: “In retrospect, it was inevitable.” 

This short liquidation is the largest since Jan 2nd when exchanges closed at $575 million.
