LIVEBitcoin Tests Its 50-Week Moving Average, a Key Trend Level
Bitcoin is continuing its recovery and is now testing its 50-week moving average (50W MA), a technical threshold closely watched by traders.
A clear and sustained break above this zone would strongly reinforce the scenario of a return to a medium-term uptrend. Conversely, a rejection could trigger another consolidation phase. For now, the market is therefore closely monitoring BTC’s reaction around this major technical level.
$125 Billion Flows into Crypto as Bitcoin Triggers Violent Short Squeeze
The cryptocurrency market has just added approximately $125 billion to its market capitalization as Bitcoin touches $81,000, extending its bullish acceleration.
This latest move triggered a massive short squeeze, with over $150 million in leveraged positions liquidated in just 60 minutes. BTC’s rise continues to force short sellers to cover their positions in a rush, further fueling the market’s momentum.
Coinbase Premium Turns Positive as US Buyers Return to Bitcoin
The Coinbase Premium Index has moved back into positive territory, a signal often interpreted as renewed demand for Bitcoin on Coinbase compared with platforms more widely used in Asia.
The shift suggests that US investors, particularly institutional players, are starting to buy BTC again after several days of selling pressure. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s strong recovery, the return of the Coinbase premium reinforces the case for stronger US spot demand.
Crypto Stocks Surge on Wall Street as Bitcoin Returns Above $81,000
Bitcoin’s rise is lifting major cryptocurrency-related stocks in its wake. BTC has climbed above $81,000, erasing its losses from the past five days, while several sector stocks are posting double-digit gains.
The move is reportedly being supported in particular by the US Treasury’s plan to increase its purchases of long-term bonds, an operation that could improve market liquidity, weigh on the dollar and support risk assets.
BMNR is up 13.18%, MARA 11.94%, Coinbase (COIN) 10.96%, Strategy (MSTR) 10.31% and SBET 5.80%.

Bitcoin has just accelerated to $81,000, marking a gain of around 5% and triggering a major short squeeze across the crypto market. Around $140 million in short positions may have been liquidated over the past 60 minutes.
The rally is forcing traders who were betting on a decline to buy back their positions, which could amplify the move even further. The market is now watching whether BTC can hold above $80,000 and continue toward the next major resistance zone. Reuters notably places a significant technical resistance level around $82,793.

J’ai plongé dans Bitcoin dès 2017, bien avant qu’il ne devienne un sujet grand public. Depuis, j’ai transformé cette immersion de terrain en expertise concrète : analyse des cycles de marché, compréhension fine des protocoles, décryptage des narratifs et des enjeux réglementaires. Rédacteur crypto et formateur sur le terrain, je traduis la complexité de la blockchain en contenus clairs, précis et stratégiques, pensés autant pour les investisseurs avertis que pour les nouveaux entrants.
