BTC breaks out — crosses $87,000, up 7% today
Bitcoin decisively broke its multi-week range, pushing above $87,000 on both Coinbase and Binance — up more than 7% in a single day. This is a real breakout, not just a range test: the $82K-83K resistance that rejected price multiple times finally gave way.
What's driving it:
Short liquidations exploded — over $300 million wiped out in a single hour as BTC neared $85,000
Strategy (Saylor) resumed Bitcoin buying after a three-week pause, adding fresh institutional demand signal
Broader market followed: ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA all up 5-10%, Dogecoin surged 14%
Crypto-linked stocks rallied too — Coinbase +5.6%, Bitmine +5.5%, Strategy (MSTR) +9%
Open interest jumped past $31 billion as traders piled over $2 billion into fresh futures positions overnight
Technical significance: BTC also reclaimed its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks — a level analysts flag as historically strong confirmation that bear-market lows are behind us.
What to watch next: persistence above $88,000 would help confirm this as a genuine trend shift rather than a sharp bounce. Below that, some volatility back toward $80-83K remains possible.
