🚀 Bitcoin Surges Above $85,000 as Short Squeeze Fuels Rally

Bitcoin ($BTC ) jumped above $85,000 on September 21, reaching its highest level since January 2026. The move triggered approximately $920 million in liquidations over 24 hours, with short positions accounting for more than 97% of the losses.

🏦 Institutional buying accelerates

Strategy resumed its Bitcoin purchases after a two-week pause, acquiring 950 BTC for approximately $75.7 million. Meanwhile, publicly listed companies recorded $183 million in net Bitcoin purchases last week.

📈 Technical breakout

Bitcoin closed above its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks, invalidating a previously observed head-and-shoulders reversal pattern.

The combination of short liquidations, renewed institutional accumulation and the technical breakout is putting Bitcoin back in focus as market momentum strengthens.
