Bitcoin climbed to $80,000 due to a weaker dollar, inflows into ETFs, and the liquidation of short positions. At the same time, it
remains 43% below its peak.

The cryptocurrency’s boost was partly driven by changes in the bond market after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to at least double buybacks of long-term Treasury bonds. This helped lower bond yields and weaken the dollar, while simultaneously pushing gold prices higher.
These conditions renewed investor interest in the so-called debasement trade — a strategy in which rising fiscal tensions and easing financial conditions boost demand for scarce assets, including bitcoin.

Other factors included mass liquidations of short positions, inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs, and expectations of more favorable regulatory conditions in the United States.
It is very encouraging to see some signs of life in the cryptocurrency market. And this rally is different from the other uncertain sparks seen over the past few months
Will bitcoin be able to continue rising
Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick believes that the current rise could be self-reinforcing. According to him, record liquidations of short positions and more than $1 billion in weekly inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs are creating conditions for further growth, which could attract new investors to the market.
At the same time, bitcoin remains approximately 43% below its all-time high, set in October. Much of the latest jump was linked specifically to the forced closure of short positions, so the cryptocurrency needs sustained demand — not merely a short-term surge — to establish a new stable price range.
