Bitcoin jumped above $75,500 on Aug 21, its highest since February, before settling near $74,600. The move triggered over $1B in short liquidations in an hour.

The rally was fueled by record ETF inflows ($1.11B in 4 days), US Treasury doubling bond buybacks, and renewed optimism around the US crypto CLARITY Act.

BTC's true all-time high remains $126,080 from Oct 6, 2025 — so it's still ∼40% down from the peak, but momentum has flipped bullish after months of sideways action.
