Last week, BTC broke through its previous all-time intraday trading high of $68,990, before ending the week right around $68,000.

Over the weekend, BTC continued its climb. Now bitcoin has not only regained all the ground it lost since the onset of crypto winter in May 2022, but it has also set multiple new all-time highs for the first time since November 2021.
