Bitcoin (BTC) easily brushed past the $22,500 mark today as seen a couple of hours ago.
- Bitcoin now trades at $22,342.12
- BTC’s bull run triggered by Ethereum Merge
- Bitcoin registered 18% gains so far since September 9
Bitcoin was able to peak on a Monday and as shown on Coingecko charts, BTC was trading at $22,610, up 14.5% in the last seven days.

The key here is to wait and see whether the bull run will continue or if the current trend remains consistent.
