Bitcoin has surged past $62,000 just days after the recent market downturn, with traders noting a bullish trend on the seven-day price chart, indicating that Bitcoin may have reached its lowest point.
Analyzing the situation on August 8, crypto trader Matthew Hyland mentioned, “Bitcoin is showing a significant uptrend with a large weekly candlestick and a substantial wick. This is forming a massive bull hammer on the weekly timeframe, suggesting that Bitcoin has likely bottomed out for this cycle.”
Despite briefly reaching $62,510 on August 8, Bitcoin retreated to $61,068 at the time of writing. This quick recovery follows the drop below $50,000 on August 5, referred to as “Crypto Black Monday,” marking the first time since February that Bitcoin had fallen below this level.
Some traders speculate that the recent dip was a bear trap, designed to catch short-sellers off guard. This sentiment shift is evident in futures trading, with long positions now dominating the market.
The rebound coincides with Morgan Stanley allowing its financial advisors to recommend Bitcoin ETFs to clients, signaling mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency. While some analysts believe that Bitcoin may experience further downsides before reaching new highs, the current outlook remains optimistic.
