What could have caused this spike, a single whale buying?
I honestly think we broke upward because we were scraping the bottom at around $470. The last bottom we were scraping for a while was $420, and that was all the way back in May. So my thinking is the "floor" has rising about $40-50 since then.
Don't quote me on it though, as this is just my personal theory. Bitcoin is full of surprises.
