Bitcoin’s 24-hour jump to $110,500 is fueled by a technical breakout, bullish derivatives, and optimism about U.S.-China trade talks.
A technical breakout from a 3-week consolidation triggered algorithmic buying.
$391M short liquidations added to the upside momentum.
Institutional ETF inflows ($386M June 10) and macro optimism boosted sentiment.
Here’s the scoop:
1. The main reason
Bitcoin soared past $110,500 on June 10 after breaking a 19-day consolidation range (May 23–June 9). The three-inside-up candlestick pattern at $100K signaled bullish continuation. This triggered algorithmic traders and momentum funds to enter, confirmed by a 35% spike in 24-hour volume to $57.4B.
2. What’s going on?
The rally coincides with:
- Bullish RSI divergence: Rising price with RSI14 at 63.65 (neutral-bullish zone)
- Golden cross: 50-day SMA ($101,950) above 200-day SMA ($95,358) since June 6
- Fibonacci target: $115,107 (127.2% extension) now in play if $113K breaks
Perpetual futures funding rates remain moderate (0.0016% mean), avoiding the extreme leverage seen in prior cycles.
3. How things are playing out
Short squeeze: $391M short positions liquidated in 24 hours, the highest since May 23
ETF momentum: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $386M inflows June 10, with BlackRock’s IBIT holding 660K BTC
Macro tailwind: Resumed U.S.-China trade negotiations eased inflation fears, with Fed rate cut odds rising to 67% for September
Conclusion
Bitcoin’s breakout combines technical forces, institutional accumulation, and improving macro liquidity. While the $113K–$115K zone poses resistance, stable funding rates and ETF demand suggest room for continuation.
