📈 BTC just ripped past $71K. Is crypto winter over?
Short version: the market woke up, and almost everyone shorting it got wrecked.
What happened:
• BTC hit ~$71K, ETH jumped back over $2,200.
• ~$1.7B in short bets liquidated in a day. If you shorted the bounce, you paid for it.
• On-chain BTC demand turned positive for the first time in 7 months (CryptoQuant). That's the real signal.
Why: Washington is warming up fast. Trump said the US is working to bring Hyperliquid onshore, and Coinbase just added its perps to the Base App. Plus Treasury buybacks, a weaker dollar and steady ETF inflows.
Is winter over? One green week isn't a bull market. But this is the healthiest setup in months.
The catch: moves like this happen fast, usually while you sleep. That's the point of an AI agent, it trades your plan 24/7 so you don't miss it.
