Bitcoin has made a strong comeback, clawing back earlier losses and reigniting hopes for a push towards $60K.
After dipping to a low below $56,000, Bitcoin has bounced back, climbing above $58K with a sharp 3% gain in just four hours.
Earlier today, the market took a hit, shedding $100 billion from its total market cap as BTC fell to a monthly low.
Altcoins weren’t spared either, with ETH diving to $2,400 and BNB slipping toward $510.
However, the bulls have returned, recovering much of the lost ground. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $58,000, nearly erasing the earlier losses.
Data from Coinglass shows that this rollercoaster of a day resulted in nearly $200 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours.
Some analysts suggest that the earlier dip may have been a trap for sellers who were expecting the decline to continue.

At the same time, data from IntoTheBlock indicates a significant number of buyers entered between $61,700 and $70,500, now sitting on losses.
According to the data firm, whenever a large portion of traders are in the red, Bitcoin tends to face consistent selling pressure as the price nears these levels.
