Bitcoin BTC/USD+5.14%$101,349.10
Ethereum ETH/USD
               
+1.46%$2,860.84
Dogecoin DOGE/USD          +15.87%$0.2866

What Happened: Bitcoin surged past $100,000, a day after plunging below $92,000. The leading cryptocurrency hit an intraday high of $102,500 before paring gains overnight.

Ethereum chalked out modest gains, but the second-largest cryptocurrency was yet to reclaim the pre-slump levels. Dogecoin rallied 15%, erasing significant losses from the Sunday decline.

Cryptocurrency liquidations hit $1.56 billion over the last 24 hours, with longs accounting for over $1 billion. 

If Bitcoin retraces to $95,000 again, over $1 billion in upside bets will be wiped out.

More than 55% of Bitcoin futures traders were short Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio, signaling a potential drop.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 2.36% in the last 24 hours, suggesting a surge in speculative trading.

Market sentiment flipped from "Fear" to "Greed", according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.35 trillion, rising 4.38% in the last 24 hours.

Stock futures climbed Monday night after Trump paused planned tariffs against Canada and Mexico. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 151 points, or 0.34%, as of 7:48 p.m. EDT. 

Earlier in the day, major averages closed in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 122.75 points, or 0.28%, to close at 44,421.91. The S&P 500 slid 0.76%, ending at 5,994.57, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.20% to close at 19,391.96.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analyst and trader Rekt Capital noted Bitcoin's recovery to the $101,000 level.

"Now BTC needs to daily close above it and retest it successfully to reclaim it into support," the analyst remarked. "Until then – $101,000 needs to prove it is not a new resistance."

Another well-known analyst, Ali Martinez, spotted a potential head-and-shoulders pattern for Ethereum.

"ETH must hold above $2,700 to keep the bullish structure intact and have a chance of reaching $7,000," Martinez projected.

The inverse head and shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, indicating exhaustion of a prolonged downturn.
