Bitcoin nears $84K, wiping out $140M in shorts, with new resistance at $86K-$88K ahead.

Bitcoin closed last week near $84,000, liquidating about $140 million in short positions as it recovered from a low of $80,393. This price action removed bearish leverage clustered between $86,000 and $88,000, which now forms the next resistance zone. Despite a 3.2% weekly drop, traders see the $83,000 level as a key support, with some optimistic about a rise above $90,000 soon. However, weak spot demand, highlighted by $681 million outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, poses a risk to sustained momentum.

Following Bitcoin's recent price moves discussed in the article, on Pluang Bitcoin trades at Rp1.500.503.494 as of Oct 12, 2026 14:42 WIB, showing a 1.31% increase over the past day.
