The day before that, as covered by U.Today, on-chain data agency Santiment predicted that the leading digital currency was likely to continue rising this week, due to a major index on the stock market that Bitcoin has been closely associated with recently: the S&P 500.

On Feb. 8, the market sentiment (Bitcoin Fear and Greed index) changed to "neutral" from "fear," and Bitcoin briefly soared to a high of $45,510. Besides, the Canadian arm of accounting giant KPMG stated that it would add Bitcoin and Ethereum to its treasury funds.

By now, the Bitcoin price has gone down to $44,900.
