Notably, the current level of Bitcoin was last seen in June 2022. Additionally, the coin added the additional numbers just a day after it swung past $24,000, a level first seen since August last year.
Speaking about the new breach, Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, stated that Bitcoin’s price levels have surpassed the lows it registered post-FTX collapse in November 2022. At the time, the king coin saw a sharp decline, with BTC’s price collapsing from the $20k level to the $15k level within a few days. Winklevoss said,
“Bitcoin just broke 25k, price levels well above pre-FTX collapse. A clear signal that our industry is moving beyond this painful chapter — we will not be defined by it. We are back to building the future.”
The coin’s rise in the market has left Bitcoin’s short traders on the losing end of the stick. According to Coinglass, the ratio of long/short positions for BTC saw the long position holders topple the short position holders. The ratio was at 1:16, with over 53% of traders taking a long position, and over 46% of traders still holding a short position.
