Bitcoin has broken out to $86,000, but analysts say the next leg depends on whether spot buyers continue to show up as leverage builds.

  • Bitcoin hit $86,000 after breaking through a key hurdle at $82,000 that capped its price, triggering a wave of liquidations of bearish bets.
  • The rally is drawing in fresh leveraged bets, with bitcoin futures open interest up roughly $2 billion since the breakout.
  • Analysts pointed to $90,000 as a potential next level to watch, while ETF flows and spot demand could offer clues on whether the rally has staying power.
