SourceAnalysis
Bitcoin delivered its highest daily close in nearly four months after climbing from a low of $62,535 to over $82,300 in just 20 days, lifting market cap by $390 billion and forcing $11.4 billion in leveraged liquidations, half of them crammed into the five days between Aug 17-21.
The largest short liquidation cascade in crypto history underscores how quickly leveraged positions can unwind when momentum shifts. With BTC price prediction models now recalibrating after the vertical move, traders watch for follow-through rather than reversal.
Price action on the 4h chart shows BTC at $81284.42 riding above the EMA50 support at $78317.49 while the MACD golden cross at 793.63 keeps bullish structure intact; however, price pressing the upper Bollinger Band at $82181.83 with RSI at 67.67 signals short-term volatility exhaustion that often precedes a measured pullback to the EMA50 before continuation.
