June 10, 2025 — The global crypto market staged a strong recovery as Bitcoin (BTC) returned to the $110,000 level for the first time in nearly three weeks, ending a prolonged pullback on the back of positive signals from U.S.-China trade negotiations.
BTC and ETH Lead Market Recovery
After bottoming at $100,355 at the end of May, Bitcoin rallied more than 10%, reaching $110,000 on the morning of June 10. At the time of writing, BTC is trading around $109,632. The move higher came alongside an improvement in investor sentiment following remarks by President Donald Trump, who said "we've made good progress with China" after a round of trade talks held in London.
Ethereum (ETH) also posted a sharp recovery, climbing from a low of $2,379 to as high as $2,726 — just about $62 shy of its previous high. Altcoins like Solana (SOL) have yet to fully recover but still logged gains of over 14% after dropping as low as $141.
Sentiment Turns Decisively Positive
The Fear & Greed Index jumped to 64 — squarely in "Greed" territory — signaling that investor sentiment has flipped back to bullish. Total crypto market capitalization rose more than 2%, approaching the $3.5 trillion mark.
According to Coinglass data, over 106,000 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours, totaling $436 million. Short positions accounted for $381 million of that figure, pointing to a classic short squeeze as prices surged faster than bears could respond.
Corporations and Institutions Keep Buying Bitcoin
Meanwhile, a number of publicly listed companies announced plans to bolster their Bitcoin reserves. KULR Technology, for example, is planning to raise $300 million to purchase additional BTC and invest in mining operations, and has already contracted 5,500 mining rigs for deployment.
In the UK, London-listed Anemoi International announced it would convert 30% of its cash reserves into Bitcoin as part of a long-term financial restructuring strategy.
A Bitcoin ETF operated by BlackRock also hit a new milestone, surpassing $70 billion in assets under management in just 341 days — five times faster than the previous record set by the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).
U.S.-China Talks Provide Additional Tailwind
Comments from senior Trump administration officials gave markets a psychological boost. The U.S. Treasury Secretary called the London talks "a good meeting," while the Commerce Secretary described the session as "very productive." Trump himself added: "We've made progress with China — we may look at rolling back some restrictions."
The news quickly sparked a rally in U.S. equity markets that spilled over into crypto.
What's Next: Can Bitcoin Hit $120,000 in June?
Technical analysis from Decrypt notes that the gap between Bitcoin's 50-day EMA and 200-day EMA is widening — a sign of sustained bullish momentum. With BTC holding firmly above $100,000, which now also serves as a key technical support level, analysts consider a $120,000 target in June entirely achievable.
That said, investors are cautioned to stay alert to political and tariff-related black swan events. July tariff data tied to ongoing trade policy could still deliver a negative shock if negotiations fall short of expectations.
Bottom line:
Bitcoin is back on an uptrend, supported by both technical and macro tailwinds. Institutional buyers continue to accumulate, sentiment has turned bullish, and U.S.-China trade relations show early signs of thawing — all of which are setting the stage for BTC to push toward new all-time highs.
