Bitcoin tops $80K, triggers $370M crypto short liquidations, boosting market momentum.

Bitcoin surged past $80,000, its highest since January, causing over $370 million in crypto liquidations within 24 hours, mostly from short positions. This forced closure of bearish bets accelerated Bitcoin's rise and lifted altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin. Institutional demand and positive market sentiment support continued growth, though Bitcoin needs to hold above $85,000 to confirm a sustained breakout. The market shows signs of steady recovery with increasing participation and confidence.
