Bitcoin surged 12% over four days, reaching an eight-month high of $85,248. The rally was driven by regulatory relief, short covering, and technical factors. The SEC granted temporary exemptions for tokenized securities trading, and the Fed's rate hike did not deter the rise. Short liquidations and increased futures open interest amplified the move, with Bitcoin reclaiming key technical levels.
