BTC Price Surge Above $70K</a> appeared first on <a href="https://coinpedia.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinpedia Fintech News</a></p>
<p>Amid the ongoing crypto bullish recovery from a two-month correction period, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price pumped around 6.8 percent in the past 24 hours to trade at about $71,273 on Tuesday during the early Asian session. As of this writing, Bitcoin’s daily average traded volume more than doubled in the past 24 hours to about $50 billion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The sudden Bitcoin price pump resulted in heavy liquidation of short traders, amounting to more than $345 million in revenue from crypto derivatives trading. As a result, it is safe to assume Bitcoin bulls are in control and a new all-time high is on the horizon.</p>
