INSIGHT: Bitcoin breaks above $81,000 as falling yields, short-covering and revived U.S. crypto policy hopes lift sentiment — Forbes

Bitcoin's move above $81,000 is framed as being driven by declining yields, short-covering dynamics, and improving expectations for U.S. crypto policy. Lower rates can ease financial conditions and support risk appetite, while a short squeeze can amplify upside volatility and thin liquidity effects. Policy optimism reduces perceived regulatory overhang, potentially improving near-term positioning and sentiment across major crypto assets.
