The Reasons Of Decided Rise

The observed increase in the price of bitcoin occurs against the background of the expected Bitcoin Gold hardfork later in October and SegWit2x hardfork in November.
Both hardforks assume the issue of new coins for users, that is why high trading volumes are due to the last 24 hours. Bitfinex, Bithumb, BitFlyer, HitBTC and GDAX exchanges became the top five leaders in the volume of deals with Bitcoin at this hour.
