Bitcoin's price surged past $85,200, its highest in over eight months, driven largely by a short squeeze that liquidated over $260 million in shorts within an hour. However, the Coinbase Premium Index, which measures US institutional demand by comparing Coinbase and Binance prices, turned negative again, indicating weak buying interest from US investors. This suggests the rally is fueled more by leverage and short covering than by strong spot demand. The Federal Reserve's recent rate hike and rising Treasury yields contribute to cautious sentiment among US buyers, making sustained price gains dependent on a return to positive premium territory and confirmed buying pressure from US institutions.
