Donald Trump's promise of becoming crypto president' and his staunch support for the crypto industry have further fueled the bullish market move following his assassination attempt.

Bitcoin is currently $63K, with a market cap of $1.24T (+4.53%) and a $26.32B (+22.98%) trading volume in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum has also followed suit, with a 5.05% daily increase to $3,364 and a 28.63% increase in its 24-hour trading volume.

While the Mt. Gox repayment and Germany's Bitcoin sale painted a bleak picture for crypto, recent events have tipped the scalesin favor of the bulls.

Trump's scheduled speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference on July 27 might solidify the bullish prospect, possibly bringing Bitcoin beyond the $71K resistance level.

Analytics Firm Santiment Noticed Significant Increase in Bitcoin Wallets

According to Santiment, there was an increase of 261 wallets with at least 10 $BTCin July, which could be a bullish indicator for traders.

Meanwhile, small traders have been selling their crypto during the recent dip, which gave whales the opportunity to buy cheaper and HODL for larger profits.

This could build up to the post-halving bull run everyone has been waiting for.Closing Remarks - Are We in Bullish Territory?

We've seen several reasonable arguments for a bullish crypto scenario, like the Bitcoin whale accumulation and Trump's speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference.

The lack of significant downward action caused by the Mt. Gox repayment should have also strengthened investor confidence, pushing toward a bullish scenario.
