Bitcoin Roars Back: $106K Surge Sparks Recovery as Monero Climbs 5%
Crypto bulls cheer as Bitcoin stages a fierce rebound—blasting past $106K while privacy coin Monero quietly notches a 5% gain. Traders scramble, analysts nod sagely, and Wall Street ’experts’ suddenly remember blockchain exists.
Is this the start of a sustained rally or just another pitstop on crypto’s rollercoaster? Either way, the market’s moving faster than a hedge fund manager exiting a sinking shitcoin.
BTC Aims at $106K
The all-time high registered on May 22 was followed by a violent correction on the following day when US President TRUMP warned that the EU might face another set of tariffs. Although the two parties reached some sort of an agreement and the tariffs were delayed for over a month, BTC failed to recapture its momentum and was stopped at $110,000 on a couple of occasions during the previous business week.
It continued to trade sideways until Friday evening, when Trump blamed China for violating their trade agreement. Beijing responded almost immediately, and Bitcoin slumped by several grand. The culmination transpired on Saturday when BTC slipped to $103,100, which became a 12-day low.
However, it maintained that level on Sunday and even recovered some ground to around $104,000. During the Monday morning Asian trading session, BTC added a few more grand and tapped $106,000, where it faced some rejection and now sits about $500 lower.
Its market cap has risen to $2.1 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the altcoins is up to 61.5%.
