$BTC Climbing to $81,000 and then getting knocked back again—this real long-versus-short battle may be just beginning. Is this latest rally just a false boom?
In the past two days, BTC has indeed surged pretty hard. The weekly gain at one point exceeded 25%. Yesterday it even pushed up to around $81,000, but once it met the 50-week moving average, it clearly ran into resistance. Around $81,000, that has become a hurdle longs can’t simply bypass…
People used to ask: “Is this a bear-market rebound?” And later it might turn into: “Is the pullback an opportunity to get in?”
Personally, I think the real signal isn’t the moment of the breakout— but whether, after breaking out, it can still hold its ground. That’s the question longs have to consider…
What do you think the market will do next? Feel free to leave your comments in the comment section 😀
Summarize last week’s major events in the crypto world:
2026.8.17–8.23
1️⃣ Over the five trading days last week, $BTC surged by about 22%. The price jumped from around $63,000 to as high as $79,000, marking the strongest performance since March 2024. The powerful rally triggered extreme short squeezes across the market, with total liquidation of short positions exceeding $4 billion.
2️⃣ The U.S. crypto regulatory landscape saw major progress. Trump continued to push forward the CLARITY Act. The SEC officially released a new regulatory framework for crypto assets, clearly outlining the Token safe-harbor rules.
3️⃣ Tether completed a full independent audit by KPMG and received an unqualified (no-concerns) audit opinion.
4️⃣ First Digital’s CEO responded to comments by Justin Sun regarding FDUSD. He said the relevant statements were seriously misleading and noted that Justin Sun has not provided evidence for the allegations to date. The two sides had previously gone to court in Hong Kong over a defamation dispute, and the case is still under review.
5️⃣ Crypto-related stocks in the U.S. stock market rallied across the board. Bitcoin’s strong rise lifted shares such as $MSTR MSTR and COIN in sync. Strategy (MSTR) gained about 27% over the week. Market focus on the linkage between BTC and U.S.-listed crypto assets increased further.

Not a professional singer Just for live-stream daily entertainment Thanks to everyone who is willing to pause and listen Grateful for our meeting and your understanding~
Last night, the crypto market suddenly surged, and the short sellers were sent packing!🤯🤯
In simple terms: the Americans suddenly loosened the faucet—short sellers were killed off, and $BTC and $ETH aggressively pushed the price up!
So what exactly happened?
The U.S. Treasury made a big move yesterday, saying it would double its buybacks of long-term government bonds. The market immediately interpreted it as a “backdoor easing.” The U.S. dollar weakened, and money rushed into risk assets.
BTC took off directly from around 63,000, surged more than 6%, and briefly touched $70,000—hitting a nearly 3-month high!
ETH was even more aggressive, jumping more than 10% and immediately breaking up to $2,333—also a nearly 3-month high!
But the short sellers? They had a rough time—an outright “massacre of shorts.”
Data shows that within 24 hours, the total liquidation amount reached $1.6 billion, with liquidations on the short side accounting for $1.44 billion alone. The scene was really brutal 😳😳
In this rally, did you get to feast on big gains—or did you get liquidated? Leave a comment in the comment section~

🤔A movie nobody seemed to watch actually became the hottest meme in the crypto world recently.
When “Bull’s Arrival” hit theaters, the box office was so bad it was only a few hundred yuan per day—then someone online said “Bull’s Arrival = bull market is coming,” and it immediately topped the trending searches 😂
The movie didn’t catch on. But the meme coin with the same name became popular first. In just a few days, its market cap exploded. The whole market was trying to ride this “good omen.”
At the end of the day, it’s a snapshot of market sentiment: when the market feels flat, everyone wants to grab onto some hope to hold onto.
But—have fun with memes if you want. Still, this kind of speculation is extremely risky. Everyone, please don’t lose your head, okay~
