Late-night surge! BTC surges to 69,000, ETH breaks above 2,090
The market saw a strong late-night rally. BTC climbed to 69,000, while ETH broke through 2,090. The rapid rise triggered the liquidation of a large number of short positions. This round of trading is mainly driven by three factors.
First, liquidity was released by U.S. Treasury policy. Starting September 9, the single-transaction limit for Treasury repurchase agreements was raised from 2 billion to at least 4 billion USD, focusing on purchases of 10–30 year U.S. Treasuries. As a result, the yield on 30-year Treasuries fell from a near 20-year high of 5.33% to 5.19%, easing pressure in the long end. Stocks, gold, and the crypto market all strengthened in sync.
Second, a short-squeeze cascade unfolded. BTC had been trading sideways in the 61,000–65,000 range for weeks, during which the market built up a large amount of short positioning. After the price broke above 66,000, roughly 1.3 billion USD worth of short orders were liquidated within an hour. More than 110,000 traders were wiped out, and short covering further boosted the rally.
Third, ETF fund inflows returned. On Monday, BTC ETFs recorded net inflows of 297.6 million USD, the highest level since May. Most of the inflows came from IBIT and FBTC, as institutional money returned to the market to absorb supply.
This surge is the combined result of easier liquidity and a forced short-covering squeeze, not a complete reversal in fundamentals.
