Bitcoin broke $8,000 for the first time in two months Tuesday following weeks of bearish sentiment and a lack of new buyers.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency surged as high as $8,109.67, and is up roughly 5 percent in the last 24 hours, according to industry website CoinDesk, which tracks a number of exchanges. The last time bitcoin traded above that key level was May 23.
