The move “is being driven by a degree of FOMO (fear of missing ⁠out) from those who missed the dip to $4,000, some short-covering from speculative accounts, and a return of safe-haven flows,” IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said.

“In the medium term, we do expect prices to break and open the way for a stronger recovery towards $5,000.”
