The rally followed Trump's X post early morning, where he unveiled a "plan" to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet." 

In the past 24 hours, 43,890 traders were liquidated, with total liquidations at $118.52 million. Long liquidations made up 68% of the total.

Bitcoin's Open Interest rose marginally by 0.35% in the last 24 hours to $30.75 billion. 

The market remained in "Fear" as of this writing, according to the Cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index, implying a strong selling pressure.

Analyst Notes:  Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin was in the process of filling the CME gap – differences in price between the closing price on a given trading day and the opening price on the following trading day.

"Reclaim $60600 as support and the CME Gap will likely be filled in its entirety," the analyst emphasized.

Another cryptocurrency trader, Hardy noted how the U.S. trading session imparted a "curveball" to Bitcoin's trajectory after bullish European sessions. 

“Now the big question: will the bulls defend the 58K/59K support,” the trader commented, adding that they would continue to hold and even add more if King Crypto dips further.
