Bitcoin jumps 25% to nearly $80K after US Treasury expands bond buybacks, forcing $4B in crypto shorts liquidations.

Bitcoin surged about 25% this week, reaching nearly $80,000 following the US Treasury's expansion of its long-term bond buyback program from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation. This move helped lower 30-year Treasury yields, easing pressure on markets and triggering forced liquidation of around $4 billion in short cryptocurrency positions. The rally was also supported by $1.6 billion inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, with total ETF assets surpassing $85 billion. Analysts view this as a potential end to the bear market if Bitcoin sustains above the $78,000-$80,000 resistance zone, despite Treasury yields still near 5%.
