Short covering in Asia on Friday afternoon: BTC reclaims $82K, ETH climbs back above $2,400.
This afternoon’s rebound in Asia is a technical short-covering rally, not a trend reversal.
The biggest warning sign is Brent crude breaking above $114 while even gold falls below $4,000. This isn’t classic safe-haven buying—it’s a liquidity-squeeze-driven risk-off move, with markets hiding in cash and the U.S. dollar.
BTC has reclaimed $82K, but the critical $80K level is still unresolved. Don’t get carried away before European and U.S. markets open. The real test is how U.S. stocks open tonight and where oil prices go.
