📈 Why Did BTC Rise? The Key Trigger for the Move Was a News Release from the US Treasury.
What happened:
🟢 The US Treasury announced an increase in the volume of long-term government bond buybacks.
🟢 Against this backdrop, bond yields dropped sharply.
🟢 Pressure on the dollar eased, and investors began returning to risk assets.
🟢 BTC broke through the $65–66k zone. Following the breakout, a massive short squeeze began.
🟢 Forced liquidations of shorts further accelerated the move toward $69k.
🟢 The White House crypto summit and expectations of softer regulation of the industry in the US

Trump is bringing crypto leaders to the White House today.

#BTC beginning to confirm yesterday’s roadmap.
RSI has now broken through the overhead resistance I highlighted, while price has accelerated higher and exactly what I wanted to see if the c-wave of the larger B-wave was underway.
I’m now watching for this move to develop into a 5-wave impulse higher, with the $69.5k–$71.7k region the next important area.
If that structure completes as expected, attention then turns to the possibility of the much larger C-wave decline.
One step at a time. Structure → confirmation → probability. #Bitcoin #Crypto

$BTC — After this huge breakout what could happen next? 👀
$BTC has finally broken out of the 64K–65K consolidation range with a strong daily expansion candle. The move is supported by strong momentum, and the current structure still favors buyers. Recent market reporting also confirms BTC pushed above $68K today, with heavy short liquidations adding fuel to the move.
But 69,500 is the key battle zone.
If BTC holds above 67K–68K and buyers continue defending the breakout, I’d favor bullish continuation toward 71,300, then 74,000.
If price gets rejected around 69,500 and falls back below the

This was purely the market being in a good mood and casually tossing out some gold coins, which happened to land right on my head. This direction has been going smoothly, and shorting has felt easy. When I opened the charts this morning, $AVAX ’s rebound was knocked back down once again, even weaker than I had expected.

My entry logic was very straightforward—the upside push lacked strength, selling pressure was strong, and the bulls had no room to fight back at all. I placed a short at 9.392 at the time and also pointed out that there was no support below. The current price is 6.517, with a

Gate ranking second in 24-hour net inflows is an interesting development because capital-flow data can provide valuable insight into activity and sentiment within a digital-asset ecosystem. 💰📊 Net inflows generally reflect the movement of capital into a platform relative to the capital moving out during a specific period.
