obviously a recovery was expected even back when price reached the bottom at $3000 it was calling the $4000 come back soon. but i didn't expect the $4300-$4400 range to be sustained this strongly.
all the Dimon and China drama has always been a temporary thing. this is the story of bitcoin as far as i can remember. same FUD, same people taking advantage and becoming bigger whales and price rising in long term without paying any attention to any of them
It only means that we have still a market even without China. I assumed that the buy support came mostly from Japan and South Korea. And even in India bitcoin price is up with a premium of $100 difference from other exchanges. We have all moved from the Dimon and China drama. It really proves that bitcoin is cannot be conquered by any one, not by country and definitely not by a person who is just spreading FUD to manipulate the price. They can only affect the price temporary and after that bitcoin continues as if nothing happens.
Well....market manipulation has been a staple of big bankers and central banks. Watch this documentary:

Not only that, remember the events of the world financial crisis a few decades back? It was caused by a lot of banks that were all cheating. That incident did not even get one banker to go to jail. The governments, especially the US, did not do anything any more about the bankers. They just let it go and created policies to rehabilitate the financial industry and make new regulations to prevent it. Unlike in bitcoins, the government has already placed in jail a lot of bitcoin users.
