Bitcoin's holding above $81,500 this Monday. That's after a late-Sunday push to $82,458 caught a lot of short positions off guard.

The price action came fast. Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 level over the weekend and didn't look back.

The volatility didn't surprise anyone who's been around crypto for more than a week. But the scale of the liquidations shows just how many people were positioned wrong.

Some analysts think the weekend rally was just a relief bounce after weeks of decline. Others see it as the start of a new uptrend.
