Bitcoin broke through $80,000 and 52% of accounts are short right as it rises.
BTC at $81,026 (+5.93% in 24h). This morning I said my bias remained long as long as it held above $77,594. It held—and blasted through $80,000. Roughly $250 million was liquidated from short positions in four hours, according to CoinGlass.
The backdrop helped: the Fed had already raised rates on Wednesday, the Senate had blocked the CLARITY Act, and the 30-year bond touched 5.34%. Once the market has already priced in all the bad news, sellers stop showing up. On top of that, the SEC and the CFTC advanced their own rules, and a House committee moved the strategic Bitcoin reserve.
What interests me most: the liquidation map shows a heavy zone above $82,248, and analysts cite $82,000 as the level that decides it. My $80,619 zone lines up above $80,500, which is the base cost of corporate treasuries. Two different methods pointing to the same prices.
My call: this is a breakout with fuel, not a dead-cat bounce. As long as it doesn’t lose $80,619, I’m staying with a bullish bias, and the real target is $82,248. If it closes below $80,619, I’ll be wrong—and I’ll say so.
