Bitcoin Price Recovers Above $58K: Bear Trap Confirmed?
Bitcoins price is back above $58K, registering an increase of around 3% in the past 4 hours alone.
As CryptoPotato reported earlier today, the market had shed some $100 billion off its total market capitalization as the BTC price dropped to a monthly low of under $56,000.
Most of the altcoins followed suit, trading deep into red territory. ETH plunged to $2,400, while BNB bears were able to push the price toward $510.
Fortunately, the bulls woke up and are now erasing much of the gains. At the time of this writing, BTC trades at $58,400 and most of the losses from the drop earlier are gone.
Data from Coinglass reveals that this volatility has resulted in almost $200 million worth of liquidations in the past 24 hours.
Some analysts have noted that the drop from earlier may have been a trap for sellers looking to further capitalize on the decline.

Meanwhile, data from IntoTheBlock reveals that there has been a substantial number of buyers at the range between $61,700 and $70,500, who are currently sitting at a loss.
According to analysts from the data firm, whenever a large number of traders are at a loss, regardless of the range, BTC will be facing consistent selling pressure as the price approaches these levels.
