Bitcoin surged to a high of $62,137, rebounding from a recent low of $57,735 and marking a 3% gain in 24 hours. This rally was driven by large whale purchases totaling 270,000 BTC around the $59,000 level, the largest accumulation spike ever recorded on-chain. The buying pressure forced $130 million in short position liquidations, contributing to over $606 million in total leveraged position liquidations. While some analysts see this as a market bottom, others warn that broader economic risks, including potential downturns in the S&P 500, could still cause volatility and negative sentiment.
