BTC Breaks $77,000: Bitcoin Momentum Accelerates
Bitcoin (BTC) broke above the $77,000 level on August 21, 2026, extending one of its strongest weekly rallies of the year. BTC has gained roughly 20%–24% over the week, reaching its highest level since May.
The breakout was supported by stronger institutional demand, improving regulatory sentiment, Treasury-market developments and a weakening U.S. dollar. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows also contributed to the renewed buying pressure.
Another major factor was a powerful short squeeze. More than $1 billion in crypto short positions were reportedly liquidated during the rally, forcing bearish traders to buy BTC back and adding momentum to the move.
Technically, holding above $77,000 could strengthen the bullish structure, while $80,000 is emerging as the next major psychological resistance. A sustained breakout above that zone could open the door toward higher targets, while rejection may trigger short-term profit-taking.
