The news of a potential US government shutdown seem to be in sync with this 8% bitcoin rise. Coincidence or not? It was going up anyway and this seems to have triggered a pretty nice green candle. There's US government shutdown fears almost yearly but it has only happened 4 times in 25 years, I wonder how bitcoin will perform if it actually happens, I assume it will perform very well.
I think is was coincidence and the rise happens few hours before the end time of negotiations.
Everybody is against Trump policy there but he won some fresh air today with the Apple's statement for returning 350B in US and paying up to 38B in taxes.
