BTC has gained 24% since Monday and reached the level implied by its inverse head-and-shoulders break, with shorts still taking a contrarian position.

  • Bitcoin surged as high as $79,400 on Friday and is up nearly 24% since Monday, putting it on pace for its strongest weekly advance since March 2023.
  • Liquidations have cooled to $1.24 billion over 24 hours, down 62% from Wednesday's $3.3 billion, though shorts still account for $1.06 billion of the total.
  • Derivatives positioning and rising open interest suggest notional exposure is being rebuilt, while spot demand metrics from CryptoQuant hint at potential further gains.
