Bitcoin surged from an intraday low near $86,200 to reclaim $90,000, driven by aggressive spot buying and a wave of short liquidations.

What to know:

  • Over $110 million in bitcoin short positions were liquidated in the past hour, according to Coinglass alongside a muted rise in open interest
  • The action points to spot-driven demand rather than leveraged bets driving BTC's surge to $90,000.
  • Bitcoin’s cumulative volume delta jumped 1,100% during the rally, signaling aggressive buying pressure not seen since early December.
  • Global Macro Investor’s Julien Bittel says an "oversold" RSI reading supports a prolonged bull market, arguing the traditional four-year cycle has broken down as bitcoin dominance climbs toward 60%.
