"BTC's rally has been rapid and driven more by technicals than a fundamental shift in market participant view. As a result, trading volumes are low, and institutional activity is likely to pick up if BTC trades materially higher," the firm reportedly said.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $23,149, up by 8.46% in the past 24 hours.
