Bitcoin Jumps Above $85,000 to 8-Month High
Bitcoin reached its highest price since January, surging past $87,000 to an 8-month high. The rally is driven by nearly $1 billion in net inflows to US spot Bitcoin ETFs, specifically led by BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK. Market momentum is further supported by short covering, institutional buying, and a technical breakout. While the token has cleared a historical hurdle that often precedes major bull runs, market participants remain divided on whether this surge signals the definitive end of the crypto winter.
