Bitcoin rose above $72,000, marking a 15% gain this week driven by a large short squeeze and supportive factors like US Treasury bond buybacks and positive crypto policy signals from the Trump administration. The Treasury's increased debt buybacks helped lower long-term yields, boosting risk assets including Bitcoin. Despite the rally, key resistance remains near $75,800, and on-chain data shows demand is close to turning positive, indicating potential for a broader recovery if Bitcoin holds above $68,500-$70,000. Whale accumulation around $70,000 also suggests confidence in higher prices ahead.
