Bitcoin's price surged past $107,000 during Europe's afternoon trading, following a morning below $106,000. This rally liquidated approximately $60 million in short positions, coinciding with significant whale activity on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, where over $5 million was deposited to open a leveraged long position.The price increase is likely tied to renewed optimism surrounding US-China trade talks, with delegations from both nations arriving in London to negotiate a resolution on tariffs. The US team is led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, while the Chinese delegation is headed by Vice Premier He Lifeng.
