After the squeeze—Bitcoin's $77,000 crossroads
After several months of dormancy, Bitcoin resumed its uptrend during the week of August 17. It surged 21.99% for the week and broke above $80,000 on August 25.
Upward drivers
Short-term catalyst—short squeeze: Previously, Bitcoin traded sideways around $60,000 for months, while the derivatives market accumulated a large amount of leveraged short positions. Once the price broke above a key level, it triggered forced-cover buy orders, creating a squeeze effect that further propelled the rally.
Sustained support signal:
1. Liquidity: U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $420 million over the past five trading days, effectively offsetting early third-quarter pressure from outflows.
