This has caused considerable turmoil in the derivatives market, leaving over $110 million worth of short positions underwater. At the time of this writing, the price has now retraced below $73,000, trading at an increase of over 4.2% during the past 24 hours alone.
It’s also worth noting that the total trading volume for spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US today reached a whopping $3 billion.
This rally comes days before the country’s most important political event: the presidential elections, which are scheduled for November 5th.
