Pressure had been building on Bitcoin after news that major South Korean exchange Upbit had suffered a hack in value of around $50 Million in ETH.

The fresh bullrun appeared to already have an impact on traders sentiment, with social media influencers changing their mood from shorting price decreases to creating long positions.

“Earlier this year, bitcoin went from $4,000 to $14,000 in less than three months. But one pullback, and everyone forgets,” one analyst commented on Bitcoin’s 2019 movements.

Despite recent price action, institutional investors continue piling into Bitcoin futures more than ever this week, with Bakkt continually setting new daily trading records.
