Bitcoin stayed around $7,500 on Nov. 27 after a surprise bullish reversal took markets $700 higher the previous day.
Prior to that, pressure had been building on Bitcoin after news that major South Korean exchange Upbit had suffered a loss of funds worth over $50 million.
The fresh run-up appeared to already impact sentiment among traders, with well-known social media entities hinting the mood had changed from shorting price decreases to long positions.

Miners, too, still saw bullish potential in Bitcoin's short-term future, despite BTC/USD breaking below their assumed breakeven point over the past week.
