Bitcoin's price surged above $107,000 during Europe's afternoon trading session.
Bulls took control, driving the price up and liquidating around $60 million worth of short positions in the last four hours.
A whale made a significant bet on BTC, depositing $5 million in USDC on Hyperliquid and entering a $53.6 million BTC long at 20x leverage.
The price increase is attributed to renewed hopes for a positive resolution in US-China trade talks in London with delegations led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Vice Premier He Lifeng.
