Bitcoin surged more than 6% to trade around $86,000, fueled by a mix of ETF demand and a short squeeze rather than broad market accumulation. Analysts at Nansen highlight that while the price has turned bullish quickly, major crypto holders remain cautious, with some still net short and more Bitcoin moving into exchanges recently. The rally could continue short-term as traders chase the price higher, but risks remain if ETF inflows weaken or Treasury yields rise. Key levels to watch are $87,000, $90,000, and $92,000, depending on sustained demand and external market conditions.
