Analysis

Bitcoin surges 12% after Treasury announces expanded debt buybacks, with gold up 4% and the US Dollar down 1%, as Matt Hougan amplifies Charlie Bilello's warning that more deficits and yield suppression erode savings and push investors into hard assets like BTC.

With price testing upper Bollinger resistance at $78640.6 while RSI flashes overbought at 94.11, a healthy retracement to the 50-EMA support at $67476.48 seems probable before further continuation in this bullish structure backed by MACD golden cross and EMA200 at $64996.09.
