Bitcoin price news: BTC eyes $90,000 as leverage is building

Renewed ETF demand and a short squeeze lifted Bitcoin, while $2 billion in new leveraged bets and $746 million in outflows earlier in the week kept traders cautious.

  • Bitcoin reached a fresh eight-month high of $86,000 on Monday, forcing bearish traders to exit short positions while drawing renewed leverage bets into the market.
  • Early-Week turbulence from the Clarity Act's Senate failure and a Federal Reserve rate hike triggered $746 million in ETF outflows before sentiment reversed sharply by Friday.
  • U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs rebounded with $160 million in Thursday inflows and $433 million on Friday, the week's strongest day, nearly erasing the earlier $746 million outflow.
  • Roughly $750 million in bearish derivative positions liquidated as Bitcoin cleared critical resistance at $82,000 and $85,000, accelerating the upward move.
  • Nansen Senior Research Analyst Nicolai Sondergaard identified $87,000 and $90,000 as next targets but cautioned that sustained spot demand is essential to prevent a reversal.
