Bitcoin surged close to $75,000, rising nearly 8% in 24 hours and 18% over the past week, fueled by a wave of short liquidations exceeding $4 billion in two days. This rapid price increase forced bearish traders to close positions, adding momentum to the rally. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ether, Dogecoin, and BNB also gained. The rally was supported by improved market liquidity from U.S. Treasury bond buybacks and political support for clearer digital asset regulations. Bitcoin's market cap is near $1.5 trillion but still 40% below its all-time high from last year.
