The Story

News Summary

  • Bitcoin rallied over 23% toward $78,000 alongside a 31% surge in Ethereum, decoupling from falling equity markets.
  • While falling open interest suggests the rally was fueled by spot buying and short covering rather than leverage, rising exchange inflows from short-term holders introduce potential near-term sell-side pressure.
