🚀 Bitcoin’s $100K Forecast May Be Too Low

💥 Record-Breaking Short Squeeze
🔹Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick notes that a massive short-liquidation event—reaching nearly $1.44 billion during the Aug. 19–21 rally—has made his year-end $100,000 target look too conservative.

🔹Forced position closures created a liquidation cascade, heavily accelerating the upward price momentum.

📈 Massive Institutional ETF Inflows
🔹U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a strong surge, collecting roughly $1.92 billion over a five-day period (with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the charge).

🔹Kendrick labels Bitcoin as a "Giffen good" for long-term investors, meaning demand actually increases as prices rise, further fueling the market rally.

🏛️ Macro Triggers & Political Catalysts
🔹Liquidity Boost: The U.S. Treasury doubled its planned liquidity-support buybacks (from $2 billion to at least $ 4 billion per operation).
🔹White House Crypto Event: President Donald Trump hosted crypto leaders, urging Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, which pushed Bitcoin past $70,000 and eventually up to $79,500.

🎯 Eyes on the $126K All-Time High Overshoot
🔹With futures open interest remaining relatively low and momentum returning, Kendrick suggests that Bitcoin could potentially overshoot its previous all-time high of $126,000 before the end of the year.
