Bitcoin SV [BSV] has surged a staggering 63% in the past 24 hours, reaching its highest price point of the year, data from CoinMarketCap has shown.
This rally comes almost two months after leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase delisted the digital asset.

At these highs, buyers’ exhaustion is common, as market participants often find it challenging to support any further price rally.
Also, when an asset’s value rallies in this manner within a short window period, the price growth frequently lacks any sustainable support. Hence, caution is advised.
