[MARKET] Today’s Market | BTC: 86,534 USD | ETH: 2,763 USD
[NEWS] [BTC Spikes Up] Overnight, BTC touched 87,400 USD, with a 7-day gain of about 13%
A dormant whale from 2014 has awakened and moved out all 600 BTC, booking a profit of 51.24 million USD. Another whale has continued swapping BTC for ETH: over 6 days it sold 1,308 BTC to buy 40,670 ETH and then fully staked it. The short-term squeeze driven by leverage is evident—liquidations across the entire network in the past 24 hours exceeded 800 million USD of short positions. RSI has entered the overbought zone; resistance above 87,400 still needs confirmation from trading volume.
Impact: Slightly bullish in the short term, but watch for profit-taking

BCH trading volume expanded to 2.2 times the 7-day average, with a noticeably higher level of capital participation.
