Bitcoin breaks above $66,900 and rallies to $71,848.18 as $3 billion shorts get squeezed
AI Market Summary
Bitcoin broke above the 66,900 resistance and surged to ~71,848 amid a large short squeeze (~3B liquidations) and rising futures open interest, indicating fresh risk-taking rather than only position closure. Funding rates near 0.01% suggest leverage is elevated but not yet extreme. The move was supported by easing long-end US yields after Treasury doubled long-duration buybacks, plus strong spot ETF inflows, lifting broad crypto beta.
