Leading cryptocurrencies and stocks traded in the green on Monday, while the precious metal rally reversed, as investors increased risk appetite.
Crypto Sentiment Improves
Bitcoin pared Sunday’s losses, rallying to an intraday high of 88,743. Trading volume for the apex cryptocurrency increased 10% in the last 24 hours.

Over $360 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass, with bearish short positions accounting for $265 million.
Bitcoin’s open interest fell 0.51% in the last 24 hours. A fall in open interest, coupled with a jump in price typically indicates short covering, meaning short sellers are buying back their positions.
