Why Bitcoin is up 2.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 2.6% over the past 24 hours as U.S.-led spot demand appeared to strengthen, with CoinDesk noting the “Coinbase premium” logged its longest bullish streak since October—often read as a sign of sustained buying pressure on Coinbase. The move was also amplified by a wave of liquidations as BTC pushed above $78K, with CryptoPotato reporting liquidations nearing $500 million, which can accelerate upside when short positions are forced to cover.
