Bitcoin Rises to Highest Level Since January Amid Short Squeeze
What happened
Bitcoin rose from $81,000 to $84,500, marking its highest level since January, while Ethereum and Solana also saw gains in the past 24 hours. Javier Molina, an analyst at eToro, stated that the upward movement is driven by stronger demand, improving investor sentiment, and a significant short squeeze. The price hit a record high of $122,000 in October 2025, but remains 30% below that peak.

Why it matters
The price surge reflects increased investor demand and a shift in market sentiment regarding Bitcoin. Molina noted that while the break above the $83,000 area is a positive technical signal, the rally's sustainability depends on continued spot demand and consistent inflows.
