Bitcoin eyes $85K as massive short squeeze wipes out hundreds of millions in bearish bets

Bitcoin traded near $85,000 as a sharp short squeeze liquidated about $648 million in shorts (out of $746.6 million in 24‑hour liquidations), with open interest rising about 7.6% to $156 billion as traders replaced positions rather than winding them down. The move reflects forced buying and bullish derivatives flow, supported by higher volumes and broad crypto gains, though elevated funding costs suggest renewed volatility ahead.

Bitcoin’s Inflation Hedge Falters as Prices Fall

Bitcoin’s Inflation Hedge Falters as Prices Fall

Bitcoin has fallen about 36% over the past year and slipped below $70,000, challenging the idea that it acts as an inflation hedge as inflation concerns re-emerge and energy costs rise. The rally in risk assets hasn’t helped BTC, and analysts warn that the fixed-supply thesis is strained by ETFs and derivatives. High-profile commentary—such as Mark Cuban selling much of his stash—highlights dwindling confidence, and roughly $1.5 billion in crypto liquidations in 24 hours underscores renewed volatility around Bitcoin’s store-of-value narrative.

Bitcoin Rebounds After Geo-Political Shock: BTC recovers to around $65k as US-Israel strike Iran roils markets

Bitcoin briefly fell from about $65,572 to $63,176 overnight after the US and Israel began major combat operations in Iran, but has since rebounded to around $65,051. Ethereum and other major altcoins also slid and then recovered. Crypto liquidations surged to roughly $490 million in the last 24 hours, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum longs. BTC sits about 23% lower than its month-ago level and roughly 50% below its all-time high, with geopolitical turmoil continuing to impact crypto markets.

Bitcoin slides under 65k as macro shocks spark risk-off sell-off

Bitcoin dropped below $65,000 as macro headlines and risk-off sentiment hit crypto markets, with hundreds of millions of dollars in long positions liquidated in an hour and Ether, XRP, and Solana also sliding; analysts say the move reflects broad risk-off dynamics driven by geopolitical jitters, weak U.S. data, and ETF outflows, with traders watching for a support level around $60–66k and potential catalysts for a rebound.

Bitcoin slips below $80K as liquidations mount and risk-off mood weighs on markets

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 for the first time since April 2025, dipping to about $74,900 as more than $2 billion in long and short liquidations hit the market. The move followed a broad risk-off shift in equities and a slide in gold and silver, with digital-asset funds also seeing outflows. Analysts are divided on the path forward, with some eyeing a short-term bottom near $70,000 while others warn of a potential slide toward $40,000 in a worst-case scenario.

Paradex BTC glitch prompts mass liquidations and Starknet rollback

Paradex, a Starknet-based DEX, briefly priced Bitcoin at $0 due to a pricing glitch, triggering mass liquidations. The team will roll back the appchain to the pre-maintenance state, claiming user funds are safe. The incident, whose exact impact (number of traders or total liquidations) wasn’t disclosed, has sparked debate over blockchain finality and emergency reversals, with comparisons to similar rollback debates at Berachain and Flow.
