BTC at $72k—are you chasing?
Look beneath the surface first: a violent rally, with shorts strewn everywhere.
Over the past week, BTC surged from 62k all the way to 72k, gaining 8–11% in 24 hours and reaching a new high since June. Total market liquidations reached $2.7–3.0 billion, with shorts accounting for the vast majority—BTC short liquidations alone were around $1.4 billion. A large daily candlestick broke through the weeks-long range, with trading volume expanding significantly. The bulls are back, but the short term is already overheated.
First: the Treasury has stepped in. This is the real “rocket fuel.”
On August 20, the U.S. Treasury announced an expansion of its long-term Treasury buyback program—from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation, effective from September 9 through November.
The Treasury directly buying long-term Treasuries → long-term yields fell from 5.34% to 5.19%
Yields fell → borrowing became cheaper → risk assets took off across the board
This is not a Fed rate cut, but the effect is similar
BTC, gold, and U.S. stocks all surged together.
Second: Trump + ETFs—the regulatory narrative has completely flipped.
Trump met with crypto executives, including Coinbase, at the White House. Progress on the CLARITY Act accelerated, and the market interpreted it as “regulatory spring has arrived.” Spot BTC ETFs saw $517 million in net inflows in a single day—the largest in more than three months. IBIT led the way, with cumulative inflows in August approaching or exceeding $1 billion.
Third: $1.4 billion in short liquidations, but the real risk comes next.
Within 24 hours, BTC short liquidations reached around $1.4 billion, marking a historic squeeze. After shorts are wiped out in a liquidation cascade, prices often continue rising on momentum, but what follows is—longs begin taking profits, funding rates turn positive, and new leverage quietly starts building.
The shorts are dead. Who will be liquidated next?
The bull-bear battle is for you to judge
On one side:
The Treasury buys back $4 billion every month, opening the liquidity valve
ETF inflows of $517 million in a single day, the largest in three months, as institutions rush to accumulate
Trump + a crypto-friendly regulatory narrative, with progress on the CLARITY Act
A violent breakout from the weeks-long range, confirmed by volume
On the other side:
Daily RSI is overbought, and the short term is overheated
The move from 62k to 72k has barely paused, leaving massive unrealized profits
Funding rates have turned positive, and new leverage is building
A break below 68,500, the cost basis for short-term holders, would weaken the structure
Key levels
Resistance above: 72k–72,500 → 75,000 → 80,000
Support below: 70,000, the psychological level → 68,500–69,000 → 67,000
Trading strategy
Aggressive bulls:
Open a small long position near 72,000 or wait for a pullback to 70,000–71,000 to add, with a stop-loss below 68,500 and targets of 72,500–75,000.
Conservative players:
Wait for a confirmed pullback before entering, and watch whether 70,000–70,500 stabilizes with increased volume. If there is no pullback, do not chase; it is better to miss out than get trapped.
Bears:
Consider entering only after a break below 68,500 or clear signs of stalling.
Watch the Jackson Hole speech in late August, as macro factors are the biggest variable. Reduce your position first if 68,500 breaks; if the price returns to range-bound trading, admit the mistake and exit.
This bullish candle is a “liquidity feast,” not a “confirmed new bull market.”
72,000 has arrived—can 75,000 really be far away? But history tells you:
Every time shorts are wiped out in a liquidation cascade, longs are liquidated next.
The Treasury buyback runs through November, so the liquidity narrative can continue for three months. But can you withstand the 20% correction in between?
