Bitcoin Breaks $80,000 Mark Amid Renewed Market Momentum

Bitcoin (BTC) surged past the $80,000 milestone over the weekend, marking a historic peak and continuing a strong upward trajectory that has captured the attention of global investors.

Key details:

• The latest rally, which saw Bitcoin gain 5% overnight, follows a week of optimistic market developments.
• The milestone comes after BTC steadily climbed from the mid-$70,000s, driven by heightened retail and institutional interest.

The numbers:

• Glassnode’s on-chain data shows increased spot trading volumes and a decline in exchange reserves, suggesting significant buying pressure.
• “This move was fueled by sheer spot demand,” noted analyst James Check. “We’re seeing fewer liquidations compared to previous runs, which indicates a more organic rally.”

More numbers:

• Liquidation data from Coinglass reveals over $350 million in bearish bets wiped out, including $120 million in Bitcoin shorts alone.
• Key altcoins, such as Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL), also saw significant trader liquidations, hinting at a broad-based surge in crypto interest.

What’s next: As Bitcoin enters uncharted territory, traders and analysts are cautious yet hopeful. The focus now shifts to whether BTC can maintain momentum or if profit-taking will temper gains.
