#BTC reached approximately $86,000 yesterday, an eight-month high, with a daily increase of nearly 6%.
Identified factors include strong inflows into US spot ETFs, improved regulatory sentiment, and, especially, short covering. More than $600 million in short positions were liquidated during the move.
Additionally, Strategy bought another 950 BTC for approximately $75.7 million and now holds about 846,000 BTC, close to 4% of Bitcoin's maximum supply.
The rally is supported by real institutional flows, but some of its speed comes from liquidations.
To say that “#BTC broke 86k → another bull market inevitably started” would be premature. A short squeeze can amplify a trend without guaranteeing its continuation.
If inflows into ETFs continue after the liquidation fuel runs out, it would be a much stronger sign of sustained demand. If they slow, some of the movement could quickly reverse.
