Has the recent $648 million short squeeze just been a prelude, when $BTC is now approaching the $85,000 mark?

The European Central Bank (ECB) has officially activated the Pontes platform, allowing financial institutions to settle crypto directly using central bank money instead of relying on stablecoins pegged to the USD. This is a move that lays the groundwork for long-term wholesale capital flows to join in.

However, in the short term, the crowd is getting overly excited. At the time of writing, $BTC is fluctuating around $84,723.6 (+5.39% in 24h). In such sharp swings, loading high-leverage orders can easily turn you into liquidity for market manipulators sweeping both ends. My view: Absolutely do not FOMO into chasing the price in this zone—prioritize protecting your account with a tight stop-loss.
