While Bitcoin crossed $51,200 and Ether jumped above $4,100, the recovery seemed to be rather swift. Shiba Inu regained its lost $0.000035 support while the Sandbox and BCH broke above their Fibonacci resistance levels.
Now, bulls will need a sustained rally with high volumes to confirm a possible reversal.
