⚡ BTC Hits $86.7K — #Shorts Take the Damage, #Alts Still Split
BTC pushed to $86.7K, with shorts taking most of the liquidation hit.
💥 $317.7M #liquidated in 24h
• Longs: $110.4M
• Shorts: $207.3M
• Fear & Greed: 72 — Greed
That is a much cleaner squeeze profile than yesterday: price moved higher and short positioning paid for it.
But the broader market still isn’t moving as one.
📊 Inside the tape
BTC: ~$86,688
ETH: ~$2,742
TOP-10: $BTC +3.48% / $ZEC -4.82%
TOP-100: $SKY +7.75% / Quant -13.57%
BTC is strong, while the spread inside altcoins remains huge. That is still selective risk-on, not a broad market expansion.
🔹 Bitcoin Lightning nodes were urged to upgrade after attacks were reported against outdated Core Lightning versions.
🔹 #Ethereum launched zkAPI on mainnet, enabling private payments for AI/API access through zero-knowledge proofs.
🔹 #Near Intents says it identified the attacker behind the $3.8M October 1 exploit and gave them 48 hours to return the funds.
🚀 Market structure
BTC is pressing the upper end of the daily range and shorts are being squeezed out.
The part I’d watch now is breadth. If BTC keeps climbing while TOP-100 dispersion stays this wide, the move is still concentrated rather than a full-market risk-on phase.
