Bitcoin Bulls Want to Reclaim $120K

Bitcoins price has gone through a somewhat quiet weekend but the market started moving as soon as Sunday came closer to an end.

During the late Sunday evening trading hours (in Europe), the price crashed to an intraday low of slightly above $116K, which appears to have been a liquidity grab as the buyers stepped in and reversed course immediately, as seen in the chart below.

The price immediately recovered and pushed towards the previously broken $120K level, peaking at around $119,600.
